Folklore, Castles & Our Happy Places
The Highlands and Islands are officially the happiest place to live in Scotland. As a result, Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, has repeatedly been crowned the happiest city in Scotland.
On our private walking tour of „Inversneckie", we will help you transforming into one of these happy locals.
Our tour will take you to the town's famous and lesser-known landmarks and to some of our happy places like „The Salad Bar". You will also hear about the sons and daughters of the town and the life in Inverness then and now.

Our family had a wonderful couple of hours walking around Inverness with Dan. Loved the suggestion to browse the old bookstore!

We had a wonderful experience with Elle Tyler of Airts 'N Pairts during our full day tour of the Scottish Highlands in July 2023.
We received a beautiful customized prospectus months prior to our tour.
On the day of the tour, Elle offered our group a lovely basket of goodies to banish any hunger pangs. Then off we went to Beauly Priory, a visit with some Highland Coos (cows), then on to Wardlaw Mausoleum, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, and Inverness.
Elle's knowledge and fashion sense also proved invaluable for those of us seeking the perfect lambs wool sweater. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, learned a great deal, and greatly appreciated Elle's expertise, attentiveness and charm.
Highly recommended!

What a pleasure to be introduced to Inverness by Elle. The Tour itself was relatively short, but packed with information. We especially enjoyed the Cemetary. We also tried out her recommendations later and found them right on. I recommend this tour
