Lovely city. Confusing meet-up location.

4.00Meeting location was confusing, as the visitor center in Inverness has been closed. Turned out they are still meeting at that address until they find a new location, but you're meeting up outside a vacant storefront. The guide arrived and wandered a bit without acknowledging people who were very obviously looking for where they were to meet. Once the tour started, though, it was interesting and somewhat informative. It's a lovely mid-sized city and it was nice to get insight from a lifelong resident. Would have been nice to have had some time to actually go inside the cathedral rather than just standing outside the entryway. You'd have to return on your own.
Enjoyable tour!!
