About this tour
This session walks the riverside parkland at Bught, a stretch of open ground that has served the city's recreation for generations. You see a path running alongside sports pitches and a quieter bend in the river further along, reeds lining its edge. Iain explains how this area has stayed largely dedicated to public use since it was set aside.
After a short sound check at the path's start, the walk continues at an easy pace along the river, with time for questions throughout. Iain answers as you go and sends a short note afterwards on the birdlife most commonly seen there.
It suits anyone who wants a calm, local side of Inverness away from the main sights. It also appeals to birdwatchers and those who enjoy riverside walks.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
