River Ness

Highlight • River

The River Ness is a short river flowing from Loch Dochfar at the northern end of Loch Ness, through Inverness and into the Moray Firth. The Caledonian Canal follows its course from the loch to the city, but then travels by a different route to the Firth.

The river follows the Great Glen fault, and the northern end of the Great Glen Way follows the river's eastern bank.

Greig Street Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old suspension bridge for pedestrians across the River Ness. Built in 1801 by C. Manners, it gives excellent views across Inverness and is locally sometimes referred to as the 'Bouncy bridge'!

View of Kessock Bridge and the lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you still feel like going after the Great Glen Way and looking for a place to devote yourself to the sea - a place like Cape Finisterre, which may not be the end of the world, but the end of an experience that can to go here, sit on the bench and watch the ships leave.
Once you have arrived here you have the feeling of having walked from coast to coast.

Back to the city center you can also - for the first time in hundreds of kilometers - take the bus if you do not feel like walking back through the residential area.
