There’s something quiet but electric about walking across the Ness Islands at dawn, the footbridges creaking underfoot, beech trees whispering overhead.
Inverness hums with stories: from Clach Na Cudainn by the riverbank to Craig Phadraig’s ancient trails. But between social media feeds and endless event listings, it’s easy to miss what truly matters, like that new pop-up at Academy Street or a sunset walk past Muirtown Basin.
The City Brief cuts through the noise with just one thing: your favourite local moments, handpicked each week. No scrolling required.
