<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Inverness five-star hotel recognised among the world’s finest independent luxury hotels</em></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ness Walk, the five-star boutique hotel on the banks of the River Ness in Inverness, has been named <a href="https://www.johansens.com/award-winners-hub/awards-for-excellence-2027-winners-uk-europe-the-mediterranean-2/">Best Boutique Hotel</a> at the <a href="https://www.johansens.com">Condé Nast Johansens</a> Awards for Excellence 2027, announced at a ceremony in London on Monday 2 November.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence celebrate the very best independent luxury hotels, spas and venues within the Condé Nast Johansens collection. Winners are decided through a combination of guest reviews, public votes and the assessments of Condé Nast Johansens&#8217; local experts, making the award a genuine reflection of the experience guests enjoy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2-1024x683.jpg" alt="The team at Ness Walk standing proudly with their Condé Nast Johansens Award for Excellence - Best Boutique Hotel" class="wp-image-25419" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/IMG_3888-2.jpg 1620w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Set in the heart of Inverness, a short walk from the city centre, Ness Walk combines Highland heritage with understated luxury. The hotel offers 47 bedrooms and suites, along with <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/dining/">Torrish</a>, its restaurant celebrating the finest Scottish produce, through seasonal menus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony Story, Chief Executive, Ness Walk, said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Ness Walk has been named Best Boutique Hotel by Condé Nast Johansens. This award means so much because it comes from our guests – every vote and every review reflects the warmth, care and attention to detail that our team brings to each stay. I&#8217;d like to thank everyone at Ness Walk for their dedication, and every guest who took the time to support us. It&#8217;s a proud moment for the hotel, for Inverness and for the Highlands.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a particular kind of evening that only comes together a handful of times a year — the kind where the wine, the food, the setting and the company all align. This November, Ness Walk is hosting one of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On <strong>Saturday 21st November</strong>, we&#8217;re welcoming two of Tuscany&#8217;s most celebrated wine estates: <strong><a href="https://www.biondisanti.it/en/home/home">Biondi-Santi</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.isoleeolena.it/en/wines/vin-santo/">Isole e Olena</a></strong> into Torrish for a guided tasting masterclass followed by a wine-paired dinner. As the light softens over the river and the candles are lit, this is Tuscany brought to the Highlands for one unforgettable night.</p>


<a class="btn btn-gold" href="https://nesswalk.wearegifted.co.uk/tuscan-reserve" target="_blank">Reserve Your Place</a>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/N0Z0183-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25017"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hosted by Lorenzo Tonelli of Liberty Wines</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leading the evening is <strong>Lorenzo Tonelli</strong> of <a href="https://www.libertywines.co.uk">Liberty Wines</a> whose knowledge of fine wine is matched only by his warmth in sharing it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to taste some of the best and most unique bottles produced anywhere in the world. Now I get to share that passion.&#8221;</em>&nbsp;— Lorenzo Tonelli, Liberty Wines</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you&#8217;re a curious first-timer or a seasoned wine collector, no prior wine knowledge is assumed. Just bring your curiosity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Estates</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Biondi-Santi</strong> is the estate that gave the world Brunello di Montalcino, bottling its first vintage all the way back in 1888. For over a century, it has crafted elegant, age-worthy Sangiovese defined by tradition and precision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Isole e Olena</strong>&nbsp;is one of Chianti Classico&#8217;s most celebrated names, known for wines of real purity and character. Tradition and innovation sit side by side here, and its Sangiovese has become a reference point for modern Tuscan winemaking.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="790" height="1024" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-1-790x1024.png" alt="A sunrise view of Biondi-Santi vineyard in Tuscany, featuring rows of grapevines, a traditional stone farmhouse, olive trees, and rolling hills fading into the morning mist." class="wp-image-24819" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-1-790x1024.png 790w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-1-231x300.png 231w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-1-768x996.png 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-1.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Guided Tasting Masterclass</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before dinner, Lorenzo guides guests through five wines side by side, a rare chance to compare how each estate&#8217;s wines evolve over time:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>2019 &#8216;Cepparello&#8217;, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2021 &#8216;Cepparello&#8217;, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2009 Brunello di Montalcino, Biondi-Santi, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Biondi-Santi, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2020 Brunello di Montalcino, Biondi-Santi, Tuscany, Italy</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two Cepparello vintages show how a single vineyard speaks differently from year to year, while the three Brunellos — spanning 2009 to 2020 — trace how Biondi-Santi&#8217;s Sangiovese unfolds with age.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dinner in Torrish</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As evening settles over the garden, take your seat in Torrish for a menu created by our kitchen team, matched course by course, with wines from both estates, and one very special addition:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>2012 Millésime, Rare Champagne, Champagne, France</li>



<li>2022 Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2023 Chardonnay, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2022 Rosso di Montalcino, Biondi-Santi, Tuscany, Italy</li>



<li>2012 Vin Santo, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dinner opens with Rare Champagne and closes with Vin Santo, with every course in between built around the wine beside it. Our chefs work with the finest seasonal Highland produce.  Scottish ingredients meet Tuscan classics at the table.</p>


<a class="btn btn-gold" href="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Tuscan-Wine-Dinner-Menu.pdf" target="_blank">View the Menu</a>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Tuscan Wine Tasting &amp; Dining Experience is £195 per guest.</strong> Given the intimate scale of the evening, spaces are limited and we anticipate this one will sell out,  early booking is highly recommended.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don’t Let This Memorable Evening End There</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why let the magic end with dessert? Stay a little longer beside the river with one of our <strong>Tuscan Reserve Experience</strong> offers and let the evening settle into something even more memorable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Night Tuscan Reserve Experience</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following the tasting and dinner, retreat to a beautifully appointed Laurel room, then wake to a full Scottish breakfast with a generous continental selection. Relax with the river outside your window and nowhere in particular to be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>From £570, based on two guests sharing.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s something about the exceptional fresh air in the Scottish Highlands. Guests often tell us it&#8217;s the first thing they notice at Ness Walk &#8211; that crisp, clean stillness rolling off the River Ness. But a truly restorative sleep needs more than fresh air alone. It needs the right bed, the right setting and, most importantly, the right pillow.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Room Designed for Rest</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/accommodation/">Every room at Ness Walk</a> has been considered down to the last detail, with rest in mind. Our deluxe king-sized and twin beds are dressed in the finest linens, paired with rich tactile textures, smooth leathers, soft wool blends, and warmed by handsome oak furnishings. The result is a space that feels both classic and contemporary.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sleep is Deeply Personal, and We Treat It as Such</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a standard, our beds are made up with duck feather and duck down pillows. Wonderful for most, but not for everyone. Sleep is sacred. And designing the perfect atmosphere for a restorative rest looks a little different for each of us. That&#8217;s why we have created our very own <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/accommodation/pillow-menu/">Pillow Menu</a>: a complimentary selection designed to help every guest find their most calming and most restorative sleep.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Pillow-Menu-Web-Size-768x1024.png" alt="Overhead view of a person in navy pajamas hugging a white pillow while lying in bed surrounded by additional white pillows and bedding, face mostly hidden by their hair." class="wp-image-24990" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Pillow-Menu-Web-Size-768x1024.png 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Pillow-Menu-Web-Size-225x300.png 225w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Pillow-Menu-Web-Size-600x800.png 600w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Pillow-Menu-Web-Size.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ness Walk&#8217;s Pillow Menu</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Memory Foam Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ideal for back and side sleepers, our memory foam option offers targeted support and pressure relief, helping to promote spinal alignment and ease neck pain for a genuinely better night&#8217;s rest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Hypoallergenic Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For guests prone to sneezing, itchy eyes, or a scratchy throat come morning, this pillow is designed to minimise common allergy triggers &#8211; a particularly welcome choice for anyone managing asthma or eczema.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Copper Infused Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A firm favourite. Copper fibres are naturally antibacterial, keeping skin fresh overnight, while the pillow is designed to encourage collagen production &#8211; so you wake feeling not just rested, but radiant. Combine that with a helping of fresh Highland air, and it&#8217;s easy to see why guests love this one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cool Down Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Highlands are known for weather that keeps you guessing and on those unseasonably warm evenings, this pillow&#8217;s gel-infused memory foam and breathable, phase-change materials help regulate temperature and dissipate heat through the night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Buckwheat Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A wonderfully natural option. 100% organic buckwheat husks mould gently to the shape of your head, neck and shoulders, offering firm, unparalleled support, while the natural gaps between the husks allow air to circulate freely keeping you cool as you sleep.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pregnancy Support Pillow</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thoughtfully shaped to cradle and support your beautiful bump, this pillow eases pressure on the back and hips, helping expectant guests rest fully and comfortably.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24993" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_1649.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Curated Just For You</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of your stay, our guest services team will be in touch to discuss your preferences and help curate the sleep experience that&#8217;s right for you. And should you fancy a change once you&#8217;ve arrived, simply call reception and a member of our team will deliver your pillow of choice straight to your room.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Incentive travel has always been about more than a reward. It&#8217;s about recognition, renewal and creating shared stories that last long after the return flight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Ness Walk, in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, we&#8217;ve hosted incentive groups from around the world, and the secret is out: memorable incentives are built on emotion, not logistics.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="717" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-1024x717.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24952" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-300x210.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-768x538.jpg 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ness-Walk-5-Hotel-on-the-Banks-of-the-River-Ness-2048x1434.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Sense of Place</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We recognise that an impactful incentive roots people in a destination that feels like a unique and elevated experience, breaking away from the norm. It should feel like stepping into a story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Scottish Highlands write that story better than most. The Highlands have moved up the bucket list of destinations thanks to the magnificent scenery shared in&nbsp;The Traitors&nbsp;and stunning backdrops in&nbsp;Outlander. Coupled with our truly unique experiences. Read on&#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Set sail along the majestic and legendary Loch Ness, passing the brooding hills and historic castles as you keep your eyes peeled for the world&#8217;s most camera-shy monster.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don your wetsuits and helmets to take on high adrenaline team building activities. Perhaps, climbing in the many gorges, with pools to jump into, breathtaking waterfalls to slide down and fast moving, foamy water to scramble through.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An incentive trip is only memorable if it feels crafted for the people on it. And we have some of the most breathtaking crafts on our doorstep; Design your own tartan with award-winning <a href="https://pricklythistle.shop/pages/rebel-row-store?srsltid=AfmBOoroIhi_tZ82zlHTFKyNSqu0zKoXiCZfmMB_YksXV6eFmCi5hkmz">Rebel Row</a>, while the &#8220;Rebel women&#8221; share the stories and whispers of the past! &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a small but perfectly formed destination, we are blessed to have not one but three championship golf courses. <a href="https://royaldornoch.com" type="link" id="https://royaldornoch.com">Royal Dornoch Golf Club</a>, ranked no.2 in the world’s greatest golf courses by Golf Digest. Entwined in history, golf at Royal Dornoch has been played for over four centuries, now hailed as one of the very finest courses in the world.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Personalisation, Not One-Size-Fits-All</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="819" height="1024" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/KIA-Ev9-819x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-24943 size-full" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/KIA-Ev9-819x1024.png 819w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/KIA-Ev9-240x300.png 240w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/KIA-Ev9-768x960.png 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/KIA-Ev9.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the gated entrance, tree lined drive and peaceful setting, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in the countryside at Ness Walk. When in fact, it’s right in the heart of the vibrant city of Inverness with excellent transport links. Only a short car journey from <a href="https://www.hial.co.uk/inverness-airport">Inverness Airport</a> and Inverness Railway Station, Ness Walk boasts a stunning central riverside location, the perfect jumping off point for your Highland adventure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every detail taken care of, the experience begins from the moment you arrive in the city of Inverness. Right down to branding the airport arrival!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speak to our team about tailoring your incentive trip around your business&#8217;s ethos. Let us arrange personalised in-room gifts and ensure your branding flows through every element of the guests&#8217; stay. We&#8217;ll help build an itinerary that reflects your values.</p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ness Walk proudly holds the Green Tourism Gold accreditation. One of our key guiding principles is offering a world-class luxury guest experience whilst protecting the beautiful environment in which we live.&nbsp;In addition to our environmental commitments, we also observe our responsibility to social sustainability, fostering a culture that values fairness, inclusivity and well-being.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Blend Business with Renewal</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, an incentive is a reward. But it&#8217;s also a chance to reconnect with purpose. A strategy session in the Riverbank spills naturally onto the terrace for fresh air and fresh thinking.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then the afternoon opens up. Canoeing in&nbsp;Glen Affric offers stunning wilderness paddling. A short run to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/culloden">Culloden Battlefield</a> where the Jacobite army fought its final stand in 1764, or a whisky distillery tour perfect for beginners and experts alike.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s the contrast that lingers &#8211; ideas sparked indoors, carried out into the weather, and back again.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Stories That Travel Home</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-24954 size-full" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-300x300.png 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-150x150.png 150w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-768x768.png 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4-600x600.png 600w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1-4.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What makes an incentive live on isn&#8217;t just the trip, it&#8217;s the stories shared afterwards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Guests don&#8217;t remember the meeting. They remember the hush on deck as the boat idles out onto Loch Ness at dusk, or the first well earned dram passed round after a day spent outdoors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We build itineraries around moments like these on purpose: a garden BBQ, perhaps a Scottish themed dinner (kilts not mandatory, but they can be) showcasing the very best of the Highland larder and a taste of Highland culture with performances that inspire. Before stepping onto the lawn at dusk, that runs down to the River Ness &#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;the water dark and moving, the hills beyond it barely visible. We design experiences that turn into stories to be shared at next year&#8217;s kick-off meeting.</p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;ll leave us, but your memories won&#8217;t. You&#8217;ll have connection to place, to purpose, to each other and that&#8217;s what the Highlands do on a super level: they give people something worth talking about. It’s about connection, emotion, the feelings that goes with you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Few summer traditions capture the British spirit quite like Wimbledon &#8211; and at Ness Walk, we believe it deserves to be celebrated in true style.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our Wimbledon Themed Afternoon Tea</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This summer, we are delighted to present our Wimbledon-themed Heavenly Afternoon Tea, available daily from&nbsp;<strong>26th June to 13th July</strong>, served between&nbsp;<strong>12:30 pm and 4:30 pm</strong>&nbsp;throughout the duration of <a href="https://www.wimbledon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Championships</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Afternoon Tea to Match the Occasion</h2>

Our extensive speciality <a href="https://www.redboxcoffee.com/collections/loch-ness-tea-retail-gift-boxes">Loch Ness tea collection</a> and coffee menu provide the perfect accompaniment, while champagne and carefully curated seasonal cocktails are available for those wishing to raise a glass to the occasion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Perfect Setting</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our lounge and restaurant offer an elegant backdrop for the afternoon, with sweeping views across our manicured gardens and the River Ness. Throughout the tournament, we will be showing the matches live, allowing guests to follow every moment from the comfort of their surroundings. When the weather obliges &#8211; as we always hope it will &#8211; afternoon tea may also be taken in our private courtyard, where the setting is simply unrivalled.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Guide to the Scottish Highlands in Winter</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Winter in the Scottish Highlands is a season of quiet magic thanks to crisp mornings, snow-dusted landscapes, and that unmistakable sense of stillness you only find in the north. At <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com">Ness Walk</a>, our award-winning 5 star Highland hotel, guests often ask what makes a winter escape to Inverness truly special. And while the classics are well known, there are hidden experiences and lesser-spoken gems that make this time of year exceptional.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To help inspire your next break, we’ve curated a guide to <strong>unique winter things to do in Inverness and Loch Ness</strong>. Perfect for slow travel lovers, adventure seekers, and those simply longing for a luxurious winter retreat.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Chase the Northern Lights Near Inverness</strong> <strong>&amp; Loch Ness</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most people don&#8217;t realise how good the Scottish Highlands are for Northern Lights spotting. Dark skies, low light pollution, and long winter nights make Inverness one of the best places in the UK to catch an aurora. Head to a quiet layby above <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/discover-the-highlands/loch-ness/" type="page" id="348">Loch Ness</a> or a coastal viewpoint on the Black Isle, and you might find yourself watching the sky turn green and purple above the water.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s one of those things to do in winter that you genuinely can&#8217;t plan for. But when it happens, it&#8217;s extraordinary. Afterwards, return to the warmth of <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/accommodation/">Ness Walk Hotel</a> for a well-earned nightcap.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="717" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden-1024x717.jpg" alt="Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden" class="wp-image-19331" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden-300x210.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden-768x538.jpg 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Visit-Experience-Northern-Lights-over-Culloden.jpg 1714w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Private Loch Ness Winter Cruise</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Loch Ness in winter is a completely different experience from the summer months. The water is still, the hills are frosted, and there&#8217;s barely another soul in sight. And a <a href="https://www.jacobite.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">private cruise on the loch</a> in these conditions is genuinely special. Visit hidden bays, watch for wildlife along the shoreline, and take in the legends of the loch at its most atmospheric.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Combine it with a visit to the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre or the historic Invermoriston bridges for a full day out. Additionally, the Ness Walk Hotel <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/concierge/">concierge</a> can arrange a private driver so you can relax from the moment you leave the hotel.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. </strong>Walk the winter trails in Glen Affric</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/discover-the-highlands/walking-cycling/loch-affric-trail/" type="page" id="22957">Glen Affric</a> is beautiful at any time of year. In winter, though, it&#8217;s something else entirely. Snow on the ancient pines, crisp air, and trails that are often completely empty. It&#8217;s one of the best places to go in Scotland in winter if you love the outdoors and want to get away from it all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are routes for every pace, too, from gentle lochside walks to longer hikes into the hills. And afterwards, come back to <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/accommodation/" type="page" id="14">Ness Walk Hotel</a> for a hot bath and 5-star relaxation.</p>

</figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. </strong>Follow the Malt Whisky Trail in winter</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whisky and winter were made for each other. Starting from Inverness, the Malt Whisky Trail takes you through some of the finest distilleries in Scotland, each one offering warm hospitality, tasting sessions, and a look behind the scenes at how Highland whisky is made. And from peaty and smoky to light and floral, every stop (and drink) is different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/concierge/">concierge team</a> can also arrange a private driver for the day so you can enjoy every dram. Moreover, when you&#8217;re back at Ness Walk Hotel, our bar offers its own whisky flight experience to round off the evening perfectly.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. </strong>Spot dolphins on the Moray Firth</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Winter is a surprisingly good time to see the Moray Firth&#8217;s resident dolphin population. And on clear days around Chanonry Point, they come right to the shore. It&#8217;s one of those moments that reminds you how remarkable the Scottish Highlands in winter really are. Combine it with a scenic coastal drive and a stop at a local café. You can also keep a lookout for golden eagles, red squirrels, and wild deer on the way home.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Christmas Shopping in Inverness’ Independent Boutiques</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inverness does Christmas shopping perfectly. The Victorian Market is full of independent traders selling things you won&#8217;t find on any high street. For example, you can head to <a href="https://www.campbellsofbeauly.com/?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Campbell&#8217;s of Beauly</a> for beautifully made tweed and Highland clothing. You can also pop into <a href="https://www.jacobite.co.uk/shop" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">An Tala</a> at Jacobite Cruises for handmade local gifts. And if you need a moment to slow down, <a href="https://leakeysbookshop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leakey&#8217;s Bookshop</a> is one of the finest second-hand bookshops in Scotland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All in all, it&#8217;s a lovely way to spend a winter morning in Scotland. Beauly village is also well worth the short drive from Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness too.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. A Scenic Drive to the Snowy Cairngorms</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairngorms">Cairngorms</a> are less than an hour from Inverness, and in winter they&#8217;re extraordinary. Skiing, sledging, reindeer feeding, quad biking, and some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK are all waiting for you. It&#8217;s one of the best places to visit in winter in Scotland, full stop.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take your time and explore at your own pace, and then come back to Ness Walk for dinner at <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/envira/torrish-restaurant/">Torrish.</a> Here, a tasting menu and whisky flight are the perfect end to a big day out in the Highlands.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. Inverness Castle, Winter Concerts &amp; Cultural Event</strong>s</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Winter in Scotland brings the Highlands to life in a quieter, more intimate way. Eden Court Theatre, a short walk along the River Ness from Ness Walk, hosts concerts, plays, and performances throughout the season. Our concierge can also point you towards what&#8217;s on during your stay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/InvernessCastleExperience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inverness Castle Experience</a> is well worth an afternoon. The recently opened attraction takes you through the history of the Highlands in a unique way. Here, you&#8217;ll find interactive exhibits and panoramic views from the observation tower. As such, it&#8217;s one of the best things to do in Inverness Scotland in winter, and it&#8217;s right on Ness Walk Hotel&#8217;s doorstep.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, after a full day, return to Ness Walk and let the evening take care of itself. A crackling fire, a riverside view, and warm Scottish hospitality are waiting. All with a 5-star service.</p>

If you find yourself in the lower half, it’s time to rethink your plans! There are countless reasons to make the journey!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You might be wondering where Traitors is filmed in the UK. When you discover that it is here in the Scottish Highlands, you are sure to want to visit this stunning countryside! If you are a fan of Traitors, then you will already be familiar with our green mountains and deep lochs nearby. Shown in Scotland on the BBC and on Peacock in the USA.  Ness Walk in Inverness offers a perfect luxurious location. Base your holidays with us so that you can live the life of a traitor yourself…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where is Traitors filmed in Scotland?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="667" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ardross.jpg" alt="Ardross Castle from the air." class="wp-image-17980" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ardross.jpg 1000w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ardross-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ardross-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traitors is filmed at the stunning <a href="https://ardrosscastle.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ardross Castle</a> here in the Scottish Highlands. Just 42 minutes from Ness Walk Hotel, the top 5-star of hotels in Inverness. This is a beautiful 19th century location, but it is unfortunately not accessible to the public to visit. This is why a stay at the Ness Walk will put you in the heart of the action. And our luxury Highlands hotel is nearby so many things to do near Inverness.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Scotland is well-known for its castles. Some nearby Ness Walk Hotel that you can visit include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> <a href="https://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/urquhart-castle-p245811">Urquhart Castle</a> on the shores of Loch Ness.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.cawdorcastle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cawdor Castle</a> 32 minutes from our Inverness hotel in Nairnshire.  </li>



<li><a href="https://canmore.org.uk/site/12839/kilcoy-castle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kilcoy Castle</a> 21 minutes away at Muir of Ord.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/brodie-castle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brodie Castle</a> 48 minutes away in Moray.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the tasks which take place on Traitors show off our country to great effect. Here are some ideas for you to try when you visit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Land Rover adventures</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The players often end up in a Land Rover to get around the Scottish Highlands. So why don’t you do the same? Land Rover hire is available from many companies, including <a href="https://www.nomadicscotland.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nomadic Scotland</a>. Explore Scotland with four wheels and feel the ground beneath your tyres!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-1024x683.jpg" alt="Nomadic Scotland Defender in the Highlands." class="wp-image-24547" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NomadicScotland_highres_©VictorLiska-39-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Water fun</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many Traitors tasks take place on water. And there’s no better place than to enjoy wet fun than on the world-famous Loch Ness. Take a ride on the loch in a high-speed <a href="https://www.beastieboats.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rigid Inflatable Boat</a> (RIB)&#8230; Feel the wind rip through your hair! Alternatively, <a href="https://www.jacobite.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">more genteel boating options</a> are available to enjoy this stunning loch. Just watch out that there isn’t a traitor lurking in the depths! Perhaps a long one with flippers <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Loch-Ness-monster-legendary-creature" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and a rather murky history</a>… Loch Ness is just a short drive from our 5-star hotel in Inverness. And we can organise a private tour for you, including Loch Ness Cruises. Or book our private chauffeurs for your Highland adventures.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1440" height="1080" src="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dolphin-3.jpg" alt="Dolphin Spirit Mischief Rib" class="wp-image-17150" srcset="https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dolphin-3.jpg 1440w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dolphin-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dolphin-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.nesswalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dolphin-3-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bell ringing</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ringing bells was a nail-biting task in the first series. What better way to relive this than under the harmonious chimes of Inverness Cathedral? Bells here are rung on Sunday mornings and practice on Thursday evenings 7.30pm to 9.00pm. You can find out more about the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/InvernessCathedralBellringers/?paipv=0&amp;eav=AfZIBxrw8e1K6PZpteDEmyJRV-gwm-LV7R4o1qKXn7rloemBou2kQohzw6MGwKsWSXc&amp;_rdr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cathedral bellringers here</a>. Inverness Cathedral is a pleasant and short 10-minute walk away from Ness Walk on the banks of the River Ness.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Everyone’s at war&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can trust nobody in this game &#8211; it&#8217;s a battle that lasts weeks. And if that interests you, then a visit to the <a href="https://www.thehighlandersmuseum.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Highlanders museum</a> will certainly be up your street. Just 32 minutes away at Fort George, this is the largest collection of military artefacts outside of Edinburgh. Highlighting the history of the Highland Regiments and including an array of military artefacts and archive material. This is also a super location for dolphin spotting from the tops of the rampart walls.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spooky adventures</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Players have had to undertake perilous tasks in graveyards. And nearby Inverness, there is a burial ground that wouldn&#8217;t be out of place in a fiction novel. 33 minutes from Ness Walk Hotel on the wild south shores of Loch Ness is <a href="https://invernessthingstodo.com/things-to-do/activity/boleskine-burial-grounds-house/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boleskine Burial Grounds</a> . Not only does it have links to one of Scotland&#8217;s most notorious wizards! It also has tangible links to soldiers from the time of Culloden. This is a place definitely worth a visit (during the day to be safe!). After dark, come back and challenge your taste buds to a <a href="https://www.nesswalk.com/dining/whisky-tasting/">whisky tasting</a>!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scottish farm life</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Contestants have previously had to interact with Scottish farm life &#8211; not something that came easily to them all! So take the easy route and visit <a href="https://www.farmness.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Farm Ness</a>. Here you can enjoy a fun day packed with farm experiences and plenty of animals to say hello to.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Over a barrel</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember the episode where players had to roll barrels across the Scottish countryside? Well believe it or not, you can enjoy the countryside without rolling a barrel! And to be honest, this is our preferred option when it comes to enjoying Scottish scenery. Scotland is an accessible country by foot. And so long as you follow the <a href="https://www.outdooraccess-scotland.scot/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scottish Outdoor Access Code</a>, most of the country is available to wander through.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When is the next season?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Season 4 will air on New Year&#8217;s Day 2026 with a lineup of 22 players! Contestants are to be revealed, but we know they will be individuals from across the UK who were selected in the first half of 2025. They descended on Ardross Castle in the summer of 2025 when the series was filmed! And, a grand prize of up to £120,000 is up for grabs! The first three series are available to watch on <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00276n4/the-traitors-series-3-12-the-final">BBC iPlayer</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where do the Traitors cast stay?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Traitors is filmed at Ardross Castle &#8211; a short journey from Inverness. As such, contestants and crew stay in the city during filming, although the location is kept under wraps.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enjoy the scenery of the Scottish Highlands</h2>
