The Inverness Castle Viewpoint, which allows for 360-degree views around the City of Inverness and beyond, will reopen its doors to the public this week for the first time since March 20.

It will be back to offer birds eye views from 11am on Friday.

The city attraction will be visited on Friday morning by local MSP Fergus Ewing, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy and Tourism, who will be in the area attending meetings. Lesley Junor, operations manager at the visitor attraction said today:“We are very much looking forward to reopening the doors of the Castle Viewpoint to the public on Friday.

“The Inverness Castle Project has moved into a very important stage as the hoardings are put up around the grounds of the attraction as preparation work starts on the exciting redevelopments, part of which will be the view across the city from the top of the tower.

“We have worked hard to ensure that visitors to the top of the viewpoint can do so safely, in the knowledge that the location is COVID-secure, delivering on the various requirements outlined in the Scottish Government’s routemap.

“The team and I very much look forward to welcoming local residents and tourists back to a safe and secure attraction that will not disappoint.”

In order to comply with Scottish Government’s test and protect protocols, visitors to the viewpoint will be required to book ahead for all visits and are advised that pre-lockdown “drop-in” entries will not be available.
