Welcome to Inverness

Local Welcome Pack / Citizens Advice Bureaux / Leisure Centres and Swimming Pools / Libraries / Schools / Useful Links

Inverness is the City in the Highlands where you’ll find the warmest of welcome – whether you choose to visit, explore, shop, relax or just live Inverness. It’s in our nature to be friendly and helpful, and we enjoy the ‘craic’ (Gaelic for chat and light-hearted conversation). Inverness is an exceptional place, the ‘in’ place to be where there’s a real buzz to life and work. We’re open to new ideas, new people and new businesses.

Find out more about Inverness on the city’s website.

You can access our local Welcome Pack for Migrant Workers on the webpages of the Inverness and East Highlands Enterprise company. The HIE Inverness and East Highlands website is also a good resource to learn about the local economy.

Inverness also has its own Polish Association. Their office is located at
