The Ness Islands are a collection of small natural islands sitting in the middle of the River Ness, connected by elegant Victorian footbridges. Just a short stroll from Inverness city centre, they offer a peaceful natural escape with winding paths through tall pines and mature trees. Families can enjoy carved bench sculptures, a fun fallen-tree Nessie sculpture for photo opportunities, and views of fishermen in the river during summer months. The islands are buggy-friendly and suitable for children of all ages.
