Inverness is in fact the fastest growing city in europe and is still nicknamed Tesco town by the locals. Due to Tesco holding the largest number of stores in the city boundaries. The largest one being at the inverness business and retail park which is open 24/7 so shopping for random bits n pieces is never an issue. the rest of the retail park consists of boots, a multiplex vue cinema (7 screens i think) pizza hut, burger king, jjb gym and store, homebase, argos, next, borders, maplin, mothercare, pets at home, petrol station, squillions of parking spaces, starbucks and probably a few others i have forgotten.
The city centre itself is on the small side with a park and stride system rather than park and ride (its that small) the eastgate centre is the main shopping arena/mall and offers a wide selection of shops from most phone networks...

Advantages: Its a small place, trains are cheap Disadvantages: Buses are expensive
...by Stagecoach, but you occasionally see the odd blue Highland buses, which are a much better price and tend to go to the more obscure parts of Inverness - mainly housing estates!
Buses in Inverness leave from one of three places - the newly refurbished bus station beside the library just off Academy Street which is a 3 mionute walk from the train station, or the more local buses which leave from outside the general post office on Queensgate and also from Union Street. Both of these are a stones throw from the main train and bus station .
There isnt a local train service as such for commuters - but Inverness Train Station provides good regular links with Aberdeen, Thurso / Wick, Perth and Kyle, not to mention the Sleeper Service to London Euston. Scotrail are usually good on prices and if you want to visit towns near Inverness like Dingwall, Lairg...

Advantages: Shops and scenery Disadvantages: Need a car to get to most scenic places
...I have lived in Inverness all my life and I don't think I would live anywhere else.
Years ago Inverness was probably a remote place and in the wilderness a bit. Nowadays it's different. There are over 60,000 people living here, and it has been classed as one of the fastest growing places in Britain. There are good rail, bus and plane networks. The airport is small but there are daily flights to and from London, Birmingham and other British cities, as well as flights going to and from some foreign countries.
In Inverness itself there are many restaurants - one of which was featured on a Gordon Ramsay show last year. There are a variety of restaurants here - Italian, Chinese, Indian, as well as British food. There are also a number of hotels.
There are a wide range of shops in Inverness - when I was young the nearest M...

Well, you either use a mac or you don't. However if you do, it's a slippery slope into buying loads of things for your mac. There's all sorts of things you can buy, some which are trivial little things, some which aren't.
