Inverness Mess
As a completely culture free zone, with ugly buildings, pot holed streets and traffic lights that work against each other to halt any flow of traffic, generally unfriendly shop staff and even an IMITATION castle, Inverness is hard to beat. I think it tries to compete with Fort William for title of worst place in Scotland, but who is ahead is too close to call.
For a long time now we have avoided it. If we want to buy anything much more than milk and baccy, we do a 260 mile round trip to civilization - Perth, Dundee, sometimes even Glasgow, further away still. This compares to a 100 mile round trip to Inverness. Despite the extra fuel costs it doesn't take us much longer, we SAVE money, the shop staff are helpful and friendly, and we always get the goods we are looking for.
The kebabs are better down there too.
