Acer Glen Bed & Breakfast in Inverness

‘Highland Hospitality, With a Hint of ‘Maple Flair’

Acer Glen B&B is situated in the heart of Inverness, capital of the Highlands, at the mouth of the Great Glen. The B&B is a short walk from Inverness city centre (including the bus and train stations) and it is a short drive from the spectacular countryside that is the Scottish Highlands.

Chanonary Point

Lighthouse and a sea level view of the Moray Firth.  Good spot to see the dolphins. https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/rosemarkie/chanonrypoint/index.html 15 miles/ 24.2 kilometres from Acer Glen. what3words – slept.country.inner

Highland Cows

They are to be found all over the Highlands, but as a farmed animal aren’t normally guaranteed in one location.  They are often found at Culloden Battlefield. 7.5 miles / 12.1 kilometres from Acer Glen. https://www.visitscotland.com/blog/holiday-ideas/great-places-to-see-highland-cows-in-scotland/

Stirling Castle

One of Scotland’s most historically important sites and was once a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/stirling-castle/ 135 miles / 217 kilometres from Acer Glen. what3words – slot.spent.formal

Hermitage, Dunkeld

A small building built to view a waterfall.  A short walk from the car park, it is a good leg stretcher on a long drive.  Take your camera. https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-hermitage 100 miles / 161 kilometres from Acer Glen. what3words – slept.storybook.brownish

Dunnottar Castle

Donnottar is an iconic castle.  It is fabulously picturesque and it was once defended against Oliver Cromwell’s forces for 8 months and therefore the Honours of Scotland (the Scottish crown jewels) were saved.  Not for those with mobility issues or pushchairs. https://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/dunnottar-castle-p245751 119 miles /192 kilometres what3words – glory.edits.livid

Inveraray

Nice wee town.  Hills, mountains, a jail, a few good eateries/pubs and Inverrary Castle (or as you might know it Duneagle Castle from Downton Abbey). https://www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/inveraray-p235311 130 / 209 what3words – landed.legal.pampered  

House of Bruar

You drive right past it on the A9 so its a good leg stretch and if its Scottish they sell it.  It ain’t cheap but it is excellent quality.  Have a coffee and a biscuit. https://www.houseofbruar.com/ 78 miles / 126 kilometres from Acer Glen what3words – haggling.fans.spruced
