Are you looking for some inspiration to celebrate?
Here are a few ideas for different budgets to enjoy the day dedicated to love and romance.

Sweet Valentine for sweet-tooth couples
Are you a sugar-glazed couple, meaning that it is a sacrilege to you to end a meal without dessert?
For couples with a sweet tooth, there are some great local producers baking up a delicious storm for Valentine's.
To stir away from the usual chocolates, why not to go nuts with doughnuts? Perk's special Valentine Boxes (£24) and their Valentine's Day package (£30) are a great option.
Or if you are more one for biscuits and down the Nairn way, Jemima's Treat Tins special love treat boxes (£15) are another tasty idea!
Bowling date night
If you and your partner can take a bit of competition, an evergreen date night is on the bowling lanes!
You can head to Rollerbowl Inverness for what will surely be a striking night.
Share a meal and a good bottle
There is no reason to cut on flavour even if you are on a budget, especially when it comes to a good bottle to share over a tasty home-cooked meal.
Inverness wine and spirits merchants Wood Winters and Majestic in Inverness have special Valentine's deals and selections on bottles to treat your loved ones.
