You must certainly be excited to visit Scotland for the first time. Staying in a castle can be a really special experience. Take a look at our guide to castle stays or browse our listing for castle stays near Inverness. The castles which have a star rating are quality-assured.
Travel by train is easy and especially so from Inverness. You can easily hop on a train to Edinburgh. You can plan trips at http://www.travelinescotland.com/ and http://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.phpAlso, it is often cheaper to buy tickets in advance of your day of travel. Try the following for online tickets or ask for an advance ticket at the station:
