4 Things Not to Miss in Inverness

3. Hootananny Ceilidh Bar

This award-winning pub is a great place to catch some traditional Scottish music, and maybe even dance a jig!

The venue is great, with a high ceiling and plenty of room, though it will get crowded when performances are on. Normally there is a wide space between the performers and the crowd. When I popped in, random Scottish blokes were taking women from the audience to teach them to dance impromptu. It’s a lot of fun, with great energy!

Music normally starts at 9:30, and you can check who’s on by looking at their website. Ceilidhs are hosted every Saturday from 2.30 pm – 4.30 pm.

Be forewarned: Fridays and Saturdays are Stag/Hen (bachelor/bachelorette) party nights. Things can get loud and crazy pretty quick.
