The Gardens

Na Gàrraidhean

The Inverness Castle Experience gardens are open all year round. Set against the backdrop of the Castle's timeless stone walls, the grounds – which are free to enjoy – offer a perfect place to rest after a long day’s sightseeing, or to simply enjoy some fresh air in a peaceful setting.

Look out for seasonal plants from across the Highlands reflecting the area's close connections between our Gaelic culture and the environment around us. Through carefully curated plantings, you are invited to discover how these plants have been used throughout history - for food, medicine, and even in folklore, religion, and literature.

Wander through this living landscape and uncover the stories rooted in every leaf and bloom.
