You’re now in the cultural heart of Inverness and this is where theatre, music and cinema fans gather to take in a show or else enjoy good conversation over coffee or wine. The architecture of the building makes for a stunning showpiece on the banks of the Ness and that’s especially evident after night falls when the light pours from the glass frontage. In recent years, good use has been made of the front lawn for the Under Canvas event which provides an alfresco experience for music lovers. This happens to be the first point on our loop route where you can rent one of the Hi-Bike electric bikes. They’re usually parked at the side of the Bishop’s Palace.
