By Butlers in the Buff · From £35pp · We come to you
Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands and one of the most dramatic hen party destinations in the UK. Loch Ness is on the doorstep, the city has a charming riverside centre, and the Highland landscape provides a backdrop that simply can't be replicated anywhere else. Our mixologists cover Inverness and the wider Highland area for private cocktail masterclasses.
Inverness sits at the meeting point of the Great Glen and the Moray Firth, a compact, elegant city on the River Ness with a castle, a Victorian market and a growing independent food and whisky scene. The surrounding Highland landscape is simply extraordinary: Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle are 20 minutes south; Culloden Battlefield, where Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobites were defeated in 1746, is 5 miles east; and the Cairngorms National Park stretches out to the south-east. For a destination hen party with genuine drama, Inverness is incomparable.
What to do in Inverness for a hen weekend
Loch Ness & Urquhart Castle
The most famous loch in the world, take a Loch Ness cruise, stop at the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle and visit the Loch Ness Centre at Drumnadrochit. About 20 minutes from Inverness.
Whisky Tastings
Inverness is the gateway to the Highland and Speyside whisky regions, some of the world's finest distilleries are within an hour's drive. A guided whisky tasting is a brilliant hen afternoon activity.
