Good evening! I hope you're all well, and I'd like to say a very big thank you to everybody for helping us reach over 5,300 subscribers! This evening, we've got a very special walk in the most northerly place this channel has ever been, the city of the Highlands: Inverness! I really hope you enjoy this walk around Inverness, and here's a little bit of bonus information on this gorgeous city. We talked a lot in the walk about the major battles near Inverness, particularly the Battle of Culloden in 1746, but did you know that there was once a battle fought in the city over a wheel of cheese? In 1668, it's said that a man refused to pay for a wheel of cheese after causing it to roll down from the castle into the River Ness, prompting angry retaliations from fellow Invernesians, eventually growing into a town-wide brawl!
@@rain_down_ Inverness is an absolutely gorgeous place - and the clarity of the River Ness is one of my lasting memories of its natural beauty, I've never seen anything like it before! Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have a great time in Inverness when you visit :)
Where do you get your information, it must take weeks of study to gain this knowledge, just love these videos plus you don't get any talking, love the format keep them coming 🤗
@@keithclayton654 Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoy the format of the videos - it means a lot to hear :) All the information you see on screen takes a lot of research - not exactly weeks of research but this video in Inverness took about 8 hours to make on its own - most of it spent researching the web for all the history! But I love doing it, and I learn so much by making these videos :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - stay tuned for more videos in the future!
I live in Inverness and a stones throw from the river. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place to live with a rich history. I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Lovely video.
Wow! You're very lucky to live so close to such a beautiful river and such a wonderful city - Inverness really is one of the most wonderful places I've visited in Britain :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
You're very lucky to live in Inverness - it's such a wonderful place and even though I've only ever been as a visitor, it's one of the loveliest cities I've visited :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Another great video - made so much more appealing by the informative history that you incorporate in the walks. I look forward to watching more of your videos - I'm gradually working my way through them. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos - I absolutely love making them :) The history of Inverness really adds to the city's stunning sights - it's such a wonderful place!
I visited my grandchildren in Inverness, Balbithan last October 2021 when they were home from boarding schools in Kent and Godalming. It was the best and the happiest time I and my husband ever spent so far. I used to love London very much and now since my daughter and her family moved back from Singapore to Scotland, I prefer Edinburgh, Aberdeenshire .a
Loved this video and all the historical facts. We are considering moving from down South to live in Inverness and this really helped me to see how beautiful Inverness is. I’m Scottish, originally from Glasgow and been living in the South since 95 due to work and I’m sad to say I never visited Inverness however, we, my English husband & myself could be making this our home. Thank you
Loved your video. I have been to inverness like 5 years ago and i loved it. I did not have the chance to see it in detail, cos i stayed for a while, but through your video i can see all. Lovely!
I fell in love with Inverness as a Turkish. When I see Inverness's videos and pics for the first time I felt strange feelings, like I belong there. It appealed me. I hope someday I'll visit there... Thanks for this beautiful video and history descriptions.
I'm so glad to hear it! Inverness is such a wonderful city and I can absolutely understand why you have such a fondness for it! I really hope you get the chance to visit one day in the future - but in the meantime thank you very much for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed this window into the city :)
It is indeed! Especially when the sun is shining as wonderfully as this - there are few cities quite as beautiful as Inverness, a truly gorgeous place :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I'm with you on that one! The views from beside the River Ness really are spectacular, and I love seeing those spires towering over Inverness among those gorgeous blue skies :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - I'm always so glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
Great video of Inverness. I grew up there and now live in Canada. I still have brothers and family there and we visit often. Again well done for a great video.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Inverness is a spectacular city and I certainly hope that this walk brought back some memories of when you grew up there :)
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Inverness really is a wonderful and fascinating city, and I certainly enjoyed walking around it and making this video :)
It certainly is! Particularly the crystal-clear water flowing through the River Ness - that really blew my mind when I first saw it! But indeed, Inverness really is a lovely city to visit and walk around :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
@@matthewboothman129 mate it's not city it's a town and I don't know why people keep saying it's a city and it's not one of the cleanest places I've been in Scotland and just to let you know I've explored nearly all of Scotland and that place is horrible especially the school's my nephew got put in 3 high school's and he got bullied so much that he just got home school education there are a lot of chavs littering and fly tipping in Hilton and other places in Inverness and the police there are pr**ks my mate goes around Scotland and dose documentaries about police stations and he got arrested for filming around the public police station he was on the outside he wasn't going near the inside but he got arrested anyway three months later the police got charged for it but anyway yeah mate terrible place don't get me wrong it's not one of worsts place's I've been to but it is bad
@@editusername5442 inverness is a city, Google it. If u don't like it move somewhere else instead of bitching about it on the Internet. U can't compare places like toridon to Inverness. U can only compare citys.
My Grandmother was from Inverness and names of the families are included in my older brother's Guard and his oldest son Stewardson. Thank-you for brief history of Inverness. I've always wanted to visit.
Wow! That's an excellent connection - you're certainly an Invernesian at heart then :) It's a really lovely city - and I do hope you get the chance to visit in the future! Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

Kirkwall is the most northerly city in the UK, and is a Royal Burgh as well. I am a born and bred Orcadian, but enjoyed living in Inverness 1986-1990, And thoroughly enjoy a visit to Inverness.
I love a visit to Inverness too! It's such a gorgeous city and though it may be very far north (for me) and just south for you - it's always worth a walk around - that scenery and history is just so appealing :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Inverness really is a wonderful place to visit, and like you I absolutely adored the city when I visited, with all its stunning scenery and riveting history :)
It certainly is! I love a walk around the centre of Inverness - there are few cities quite as elegant in the UK :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much! Inverness really is a beautiful place to visit - and I'm really glad that you enjoyed this walk around the city centre :) Thank you very much for watching and especially for subscribing - it really helps me out to make more videos like this!
I was in Inverness 6th to the 10th September. I find it amazing that I followed the same walk you have shown, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Try taking a selfie on the bouncing bridge, it's always blurred!
Ha ha well I'm glad that you followed this same route, covering many of the most impressive and historical sites around Inverness - an amazing city I'm sure you'll agree! The bouncy bridge certainly is quite a strange experience to walk on - I'm happy my camera managed to stabilise the video enough to prevent it from making anybody too seasick, but you're right - a selfie would be a challenge :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video and your time in Inverness!
I really enjoyed your video. It shows beautiful, interesting Inverness clearly, not to fast or too slow to read the captions. The Cathedral towers are unusual because there was not enough money to finish them as planned. There is another Cathedral further north, in Dornoch. It is tiny. Madonna Married there. Thank you for taking the time and huge effort to make this beautiful film.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Inverness really is a spectacular city, and I'm very grateful to hear you enjoyed reading the captions, it's always nice to get a bit of background to the city's landmarks :) The old Dornoch Cathedral really is a bit of a mythical place, especially with those celebrity weddings, not just Madonna but recently Elon Musk too! How surprising!
@@LetsWalkUK I didn't't know Elon Musk married in Dornoch. Perhaps the celebrities use Dornoch Cathedral because, being so small and away from big cities, it affords them a certain amount of privacy. I shall be watching more of your videos. It's so useful to have a preview prior to visiting. Leaflets are fine, films are much better. Thank you.
@@ublart49 Very true indeed! I must visit Dornoch one day in the future - perhaps not when there's a celebrity wedding on though, best to give them privacy as you say :) Thank you for your kind words about the videos on this channel too - it means a lot to hear!
I think Dornoch Cathedral is classed as a former cathedral as its now Presbyterian, and they don't have bishops, Kirkwall in Orkney has an incredible former cathedral too, whereas Inverness Cathedral is Episcopalian and functioning. In addition there are two ruined cathedrals Fortrose and Elgin which are further north. Really enjoyed your video, Inverness looked great
It really is! The city may be very, very far north, but it can also be one of the most peaceful and certainly most beautiful in Britain :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Inverness certainly is one of the most picturesque cities in the UK, and an absolute delight to walk around :) Thank you very much for watching!
@@walkaholicadam9701 That's a good question! Winter you can get lucky with some very pretty snow, but it's not a guarantee - and the days are very short, with the sun setting well before 4 o'clock :) So I'd personally recommend autumn, and if you can go towards the end of September/early October before the clocks change then that's the best! I hope that helps!
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you for the suggestion, that's very helpful. I will try to organise something for this Autumn. Maybe I will be able to get some nice footage with autumn colours! Take care and keep the great videos coming :)
It is a really cool place! So far up north and one of the loveliest cities in the country - Inverness is well worth the visit :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and the captions!
Nice walk today. I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more soon. Very beautiful and historical the city is. Your history lessons are always great. And your walks are always enjoyable. How is your week going? Mine is going well. Have a great day 😀😊
And thank you very much for watching! Inverness is a lovely city indeed - and full of riveting history that makes it all the more wonderful to walk around :) Thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Great images, thank you for all the explanations, apologising but with appreciation, the subtitles and scenes together need more time to be read and seen at same time, Congratulations on your skills and historical knowledge 🤩
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it an interesting watch - I'm sorry you found some parts of the subtitles hard to read at times, but thank you very much for the advice, I've noted it :) Thank you once again!
I'm glad this video brought back some good memories of the area! Inverness is a great city as I'm sure you know well, though I've not been to Fort George myself :) Thank you very much for watching!
Ha ha there's a lot of hidden history in Inverness, sometimes hidden in the many things you might even walk past on a daily basis! But you're certainly very lucky to live in Inverness, and I hope that this video has helped you unlock a bit more of your great city :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I have watched many of your videos now and have really enjoyed them. I live in the USA and can't wait until I can come back and visit again. Question: when you do these trips, where do you stay for accommodations? I am thinking about coming over for a month or so (when I can) and I am trying to figure out whether to rent a car or not and also where to stay for the night(s) if I spend about 2-3 days in different towns. Thank you so much again.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - I certainly enjoy making them, from travelling to the destinations to all of the research that goes into the videos :) You ask a very good question, and while most of my videos are made on simple day trips, I do occasionally do multi-day trips which require overnight stays :) I like to stay in local hotels, but in towns of all sizes across Britain you'll find really good chain hotels like Premier Inn and Travelodge too, so it's up to you where to stay! On renting a car - I currently make all my trips by public transport, which is excellent in the UK and can get you to so many different places :) That being said, if you'd like a little more flexibility or would like to venture deep into the countryside or the mountains, then renting a car is definitely worth it to move between different towns! I really hope that helps - and thank you once again for your very kind words :)
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you so much for your reply. It is very helpful. Can't wait until travel restrictions are eased as we hopefully get this COVID issue under control. Thank you again.
Just back from Inverness, seen a few empty shops , just like any other town or city up and down the country and the train station is on strike every Sunday, has been ongoing for a couple of month's
Hi there! Inverness is the most northerly active cathedral in Great Britain (i.e. the mainland) - but indeed you're right there is a cathedral in Kirkwall too - which is very much the most northerly cathedral in the UK :) Thank you very much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You're very lucky to call it home! Inverness is such a wonderful place to visit - and a historically fascinating one too :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I was very lucky indeed! But Inverness really looks resplendent under the sun - especially as its shines through the crystal-clear waters of the Ness - it's such a lovely place :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Inverness gets less rain than many places on the south coast of England, look it up. I've lived in Inverness previously and the climate is amongst the best in Scotland- far drier than Glasgow for e.g.
I will indeed! In fact I have already filmed a walk in the centre of Glasgow - it's a rather long one however so it may take some time to get ready for upload - stay tuned to see it in the coming weeks :) Thank you so much for watching!
A great question! A little bit of research leads me to understand that 'sneck' is another word for a snib, or a latch/hook/hinge. Because of its position on the map of Scotland, Inverness is much like the 'sneck' of the Moray Firth, which angles around towards Elgin :) I hope that helps, and I hope you enjoyed the video too!
Absolutely! I've actually filmed a big hour-long walk in Glasgow city centre, so stay tuned for its release on the channel in the coming weeks :) Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed this walk in Inverness!
Ooh! Very nice - I hope it was warm and sunny too, that's always the icing on the cake for a trip to Inverness :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
Ha ha perhaps that's an idea for a new channel! Finding the best tap water in Britain - I must go to Malvern and Buxton in the future indeed :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
My favorite city in Scotland. What a pity the Scottish people lost the balls. I'm an ancient worker at Kishorn Village. To built a oil platform and in this time the men have the balls. Poor Scotland.
Sorry dude this is good up until you mentioned "the old high church &Balnain house"!!Fact-1 The old high church is ( or the mound) is the place where all of the jacobite's were murdered in cold blood after Culloden if you were to go into the graveyard then you would see that straight across the river ness is Balnain house where the English and the Scots who got paid of by the English 🤮Watched the murders happen/get it right"A true highlander hates that place"........

We talked a lot in the walk about the major battles near Inverness, particularly the Battle of Culloden in 1746, but did you know that there was once a battle fought in the city over a wheel of cheese? In 1668, it's said that a man refused to pay for a wheel of cheese after causing it to roll down from the castle into the River Ness, prompting angry retaliations from fellow Invernesians, eventually growing into a town-wide brawl!
It looks like a beautiful city, and I hope to visit it soon. Amazing how clear that river is!

Nice walk today. I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more soon. Very beautiful and historical the city is. Your history lessons are always great. And your walks are always enjoyable. How is your week going? Mine is going well. Have a great day 😀😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks for the lovely walk, Certainly wish I'd seen this video before I visited Inverness. Now that I have, I want to go back. Cheers,
Amazing ♥️
Lovely city to be sure! Thanks very much! I learned a great deal!
And thank you very much for watching! Inverness is a lovely city indeed - and full of riveting history that makes it all the more wonderful to walk around :)
Thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Great images, thank you for all the explanations, apologising but with appreciation, the subtitles and scenes together need more time to be read and seen at same time, Congratulations on your skills and historical knowledge 🤩
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it an interesting watch - I'm sorry you found some parts of the subtitles hard to read at times, but thank you very much for the advice, I've noted it :)
Thank you once again!
Great Memories, I was stationed at Fort George not far from Inverness
I'm glad this video brought back some good memories of the area! Inverness is a great city as I'm sure you know well, though I've not been to Fort George myself :)
Thank you very much for watching!
25:05 the scene of the famous “that’s nae a bonk machine”
i thought that was the same bridge!!
Bro, I live in Inverness and I didn't know about half the facts you were sharing
Ha ha there's a lot of hidden history in Inverness, sometimes hidden in the many things you might even walk past on a daily basis! But you're certainly very lucky to live in Inverness, and I hope that this video has helped you unlock a bit more of your great city :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Excellent video once again
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Inverness is an excellent city, and well worth the visit if you ever get the chance :)
We were just there and you nearly walked by our B&B!
Very interesting.
Great bank machine at 25:00
I have watched many of your videos now and have really enjoyed them. I live in the USA and can't wait until I can come back and visit again. Question: when you do these trips, where do you stay for accommodations? I am thinking about coming over for a month or so (when I can) and I am trying to figure out whether to rent a car or not and also where to stay for the night(s) if I spend about 2-3 days in different towns. Thank you so much again.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - I certainly enjoy making them, from travelling to the destinations to all of the research that goes into the videos :)
You ask a very good question, and while most of my videos are made on simple day trips, I do occasionally do multi-day trips which require overnight stays :) I like to stay in local hotels, but in towns of all sizes across Britain you'll find really good chain hotels like Premier Inn and Travelodge too, so it's up to you where to stay!
On renting a car - I currently make all my trips by public transport, which is excellent in the UK and can get you to so many different places :) That being said, if you'd like a little more flexibility or would like to venture deep into the countryside or the mountains, then renting a car is definitely worth it to move between different towns!
I really hope that helps - and thank you once again for your very kind words :)
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you so much for your reply. It is very helpful. Can't wait until travel restrictions are eased as we hopefully get this COVID issue under control. Thank you again.
Good video
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
My ancestors came from and still there from inverness
Interesting to know! It's a great city and one with a heritage to be very proud of :)
I was under the impression that Dornoch was a city and it certainly has a cathedral, which is further north than Inverness 😊
There are two cathedrals north of Inverness at Dornoch, and in Kirkwall
Just back from Inverness, seen a few empty shops , just like any other town or city up and down the country and the train station is on strike every Sunday, has been ongoing for a couple of month's
I love Uk but all city missing flower and trees on street 😭😢 So I feel I’m walking in Arabian gulf city 😢
Most northerly Cathedral is in Orkney? Not Inverness?
Hi there! Inverness is the most northerly active cathedral in Great Britain (i.e. the mainland) - but indeed you're right there is a cathedral in Kirkwall too - which is very much the most northerly cathedral in the UK :)
Thank you very much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Isn't Dornoch Cathedral the most Northernly mainland Cathedral?
Home 👋😊🏴
You're very lucky to call it home! Inverness is such a wonderful place to visit - and a historically fascinating one too :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You picked a good day to make the video, it's usually pouring down with rain.
I was very lucky indeed! But Inverness really looks resplendent under the sun - especially as its shines through the crystal-clear waters of the Ness - it's such a lovely place :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Inverness gets less rain than many places on the south coast of England, look it up. I've lived in Inverness previously and the climate is amongst the best in Scotland- far drier than Glasgow for e.g.
It looks like there's not much open as in stores etc.
Do one for Glasgow?
I will indeed! In fact I have already filmed a walk in the centre of Glasgow - it's a rather long one however so it may take some time to get ready for upload - stay tuned to see it in the coming weeks :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Lovely film but I wish it were narrated.
Do you know where the nickname for ibhir nis comes from...sneckie...🤔😎
A great question! A little bit of research leads me to understand that 'sneck' is another word for a snib, or a latch/hook/hinge. Because of its position on the map of Scotland, Inverness is much like the 'sneck' of the Moray Firth, which angles around towards Elgin :)
I hope that helps, and I hope you enjoyed the video too!
@@LetsWalkUK thx for that yes that fits with other theories ive heard...😎😍
Any Scottish buildings might look very good after clearing up.
Do a Glasgow based walk!
Absolutely! I've actually filmed a big hour-long walk in Glasgow city centre, so stay tuned for its release on the channel in the coming weeks :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed this walk in Inverness!
Ty Szkocja?
That concrete building beside the castle is hideous. It should be blown up.
Inverness is a mixture of the beautiful and the ugly, I'd like to see an honest critique video... giving both sides of the coin.
Co To za film co ma oznaczać?
aye nae bother min....scottish expac ...
Been there 5 days ago
Ooh! Very nice - I hope it was warm and sunny too, that's always the icing on the cake for a trip to Inverness :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
Purest drinking water? I'm sure the good people of Malvern and Buxton would like a word or two about that claim...
Excellent video again by the way
Ha ha perhaps that's an idea for a new channel! Finding the best tap water in Britain - I must go to Malvern and Buxton in the future indeed :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK in that case the people of Yorkshire in and around the Calder Valley (Wakefield, Dewsbury, etc) also claim to have the 'best' tap water.
My favorite city in Scotland. What a pity the Scottish people lost the balls. I'm an ancient worker at Kishorn Village. To built a oil platform and in this time the men have the balls. Poor Scotland.
Sorry dude this is good up until you mentioned "the old high church &Balnain house"!!Fact-1 The old high church is ( or the mound) is the place where all of the jacobite's were murdered in cold blood after Culloden if you were to go into the graveyard then you would see that straight across the river ness is Balnain house where the English and the Scots who got paid of by the English 🤮Watched the murders happen/get it right"A true highlander hates that place"........
Was thinking the very same Steven.
@@susaninnes8713 Yeah not 'Its great to be Scottish'!!😀✌️💪
Gaelic history skewed to separatist agenda.
Please ban the fool that wrote this fatuous commentary from doing it again!thank you
There should be someone talking about it and not getting the crazy wording cause you are crazy
Very inactive city, more of a village than a city and not enough people to befriend
Bladdy hell. Shame the castle looks like it's sitting in a biscuit tin. ☹️😉
