If You Go Down To The Woods...

Now I know you're all sick of me telling you how Inverness is such a great place to live, but please allow me this one final indulgence before the year ends. You see, in my various travels I've been comparing the different festive displays in town and city centres. I was a bit negative about Glasgow and since then decided to shut my mouth if I see things I don't like. That would have included Inverness, I'm afraid, because the festive lights here are just a wee bit ordinary and boring.

But all is not lost because much effort has gone in to transforming the paths through the Ness Islands into a yuletide wonderland. I've written before about this charmining little part of town its with old-fashioned street-lamps dotted among the trees. Added to those now is an array of illuminated animals and also footbridges festooned with fairy lights. It's all very magical and, even better, it's free!

So if you're up this way and looking for a place to walk off the excesses of Christmas feasting then let me recommend the Ness Islands to you.

But feel free to make your own suggestions from your own neck of the woods.
