Worldwide connections
Inverness Campus is based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland – a globally connected region.
Across the Highlands we have nine airports along with smaller airstrips. Air services from Inverness Airport, located just 8 miles from the Campus, operate to many of the UK’s biggest cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Belfast and Bristol. Services flying to European destinations include the key hub of Amsterdam.
We also have a comprehensive rail network including the iconic Caledonian Sleeper which is an overnight service between London Euston and Inverness/Fort William, which operates six evenings per week. Information on train times and tickets is available from Scotrail, National Rail Enquiries and the Trainline.
Major trunk roads connect the Highlands and Islands to the rest of Scotland as well as the UK, and we have a well connected bus service network operating across the country.
