Inverness is the Highland capital — a city with a castle, a character, and considerably more history than its modest size suggests.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Inverness on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Track down Inverness Castle, the Inverness Town House, and Gellions Bar — history, civic pride, and a pub that's been standing since the 1700s
• Start when you arrive and walk the city at your own pace
• Great for couples, families, and groups of all sizes
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.
No kilt required, but the Highland welcome is genuine.

What to expect
Your first landmark is Inverness Castle, a striking 19th-century red sandstone building perched above the River Ness on the site of a much older fortress — now offering some of the finest views over the city and hills beyond.
From there the app guides you to the Inverness Town House, the Victorian Gothic civic building where a Cabinet meeting was famously held by Lloyd George in 1921 — the first and only Cabinet meeting ever held outside London or Edinburgh.
The route concludes at Gellions Bar, one of the oldest pubs in Inverness, a traditional Highland howff where locals and travellers have been sharing stories since the early 19th century.
Around 2 hours on foot. The Ness riverbank is a pleasant extension if you want to keep going after the game ends.
