HIGHLAND Council is leading a feasibility study looking at opening up the look-out tower at Inverness Castle as a tourist attraction, possibly before the end of next year. The North Tower commands panoramic views over the city of Inverness and the surrounding countryside. It is owned by the Highland Council and could be opened up in advance of any move by the Scottish Court Service which occupies the remainder of the castle. Tourism is currently worth £88 million per annum to the city of Inverness. Around 1 million tourists currently come to Inverness every year. The recent opening of the Flybe route to the heart of London increases our opportunities to attract visitors for short city breaks. Set against a backdrop of stunning scenery and with many attractions in the Highlands, it is a fantastic base for people to stay. However, a greater range of attractions and activities will help to keep people in Inverness itself for longer and also help to bring more tourists and boost the economy as a whole.
