Help! I'm in Inverness as an American and am TERRIFIED of driving in Scotland.

I've been doing it but terrified every moment. I'm staying in Nairn where the proprietor of the B&B says Uber doesn't go. Suggestions? I desperately want to get rid of this rental. Now. Thank you SO much for any help.

Johnny Foxes Pub & Restaurant?

Any thought on this place as a potential low-key dinner option during my family's upcoming visit to Inverness. Had been planning to go with Urquhart's, when this popped up. I can remember a Johnny Foxes over in Dublin MANY years ago, and wasn't sure if there was any connection....or if this particular place was even worth considering?

Thanks!

Cheap places to get this fixed?

I'm a student so I can't afford much repairs over £50 any advice. Preferably a place within an hour from Inverness or in it

Blue Nightclub

Did anyone go here on a regular basis? Was it as good as it seemed? I lived in Inverness in the early/mid 90s but was too young to go. Always wanted to as some of the djs sounded ace.

Affordable yoga.

As the title suggests, I'm (M, 37) looking for affordable yoga classes in Inverness. After 5 would be ideal.

I'm a beginner so preferably a class to match.

Long shot but... Vanlifer couple looking for a small plot of land?

Me and my partner both live and work full time in Inverness, we are both full time van lifers and are looking for somewhere in Inverness we could pay some land rent and park our van up for a few months, it doesn't have to be anything fancy and we don't need any facilities we are self contained, a field would be grand.

We are both very clean people with strong values, hate litter and often pick up after others.

Please get in touch if you or someone you know could help!

Thank you.

So I've been looking online already just to check and done some research, but so far I haven't found any results for this area yet which kinda sucks. I'm kinda wanting to maybe try experimenting with some new fem or androgynous styles instead of my current manly mop, hopefully without too much judgement for it. Social anxiety is bad enough without that haha. Any good spots I could check out?

Inverness courier archives

Anyone know where I can find archives from the late 90s to early 00s? I lived in Inverness during that time but now live abroad so can't use local resources.

House hunter here in need of letting off some steam and also curious about others experiences.

A summary of our experience so far...

If a viewing request is made online, it is ignored completely by estate agent. If I call, receptionist takes my details and says the estate agent will call back, they don't always call back...

When we do manage to make a viewing we are booking them on the day a property comes up and then being advised before we make it to our viewing slot that it's been taken off the market.

Made it to a viewing on Monday afternoon. Expressed verbal interest with the estate agent, then followed up at 9am next morning with a formal offer via solicitor, only to be advised that the seller had accepted an offer from someone else the day before. My question here is why would the estate agent let that happen? Surely it's in buyer and their interest to at least invite us to put our offer on the table too, drive up price potentially? Am I being unreasonable or is this laziness/poor practice on the estate agents part? Our agent did this when we sold our last property.

Second point, I have now heard from two separate acquaintances that they secured their property in Inverness through a sly cash envelope direct to the sellers. Quite shocked to hear that and curious if others have heard of this happening?!

Third point, not evidenced but heard anecdotally of estate agents prioritising their own clients so they get a double hit on the buying and selling fees.

The frustrating bit here is we've worked hard and saved up, we can offer over which I know is a very privileged position to be in, but we're not even making it to the point of being able to do that.

I hate it here 😭

Hi there,

As indicated by the title I am looking for a volunteering opportunity in Inverness. Something about me: I am a domiciled foreigner (full right to work and study in the UK). At present, I have a summer break at my uni and I work full-time in Inverness where I will be staying until the end of summer.

Something more about my availability: I am usually off once a week and I work split shifts most days, so I am usually free between the hours of 11 am-5 pm. I would be more than thrilled to do something meaningful and what's of special importance to me would be to have the chance to interact with people. I don't want my days to simply be filled with the cycles of going to and returning from my workplace, especially since I thrive on problem-solving and creativity.

Please let me know if you know of any places that genuinely need volunteers and accept (domiciled) foreigners. I am more than ready to share my CV with the right NGOs etc., but I am avoiding oversharing here due to the privacy issues.

Thank you for your suggestions!!!

Moderator applications

Hi folks,

After a few years of managing this place on my own, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot commit all the time required to keep things running as smoothly as I would like due to work and life commitments, which is not fair on the community as more and more mod mails and messages are going unanswered.

Due to this, I’ve decided to open up applications to accept 2 or 3 new mods. I’m happy for it to not be a very formal application process and just have people message me privately or put in the comments of this post why they would like to be a mod.

Mod experience is helpful, but not required, the most important thing is that you’re passionate about this community.

I’m not going anywhere either, I will still oversee this place, but I am happy to take a step back to let the new mods do their thing, and I will only step in if things are going very wrong. I will however always encourage the new mods to reach out to me if they have any questions.

I think that’s about it, I’m looking to seeing your responses and hopefully bringing a couple new people onto the team!

Cheers.
