The 5 best sledging spots in Inverness

The snow is back and with school closures and transport being affected, it won't be a surprise to see many folk going to find the best sledging spots across Inverness.

There are plenty of places across Inverness to take your sledge, snowboard or even skis in these conditions. Here is a list of 5 of the best spots that you can go to.

1. Inverness Golf Club

A classic Inverness spot not far from town. The long hills that drop down from the 16th hole to the 10th hole of the course have proved a popular spot over the years, though make sure you don't go too fast as there is a burn at the far end seperating the course from the houses and the Kingsmills Hotel.

2. Maxwell Park

Maxwell Park in Cradlehall just off Culloden Road perhaps offers the best views for people going sledging in Inverness, with views of the Moray Firth and beyond as you speed your way down the hills.

3. Inshes District Park

Inshes District Park has become a new favourite sledging spot in Inverness in recent years for many, with more recent housing developments nearby increasing its popularity. Nearby residents from Inshes and Milton of Leys have the opportunity to take on some very long and steep hills with great views of the city from the top.

4. Culloden Battlefield

Why not take in some local history while you go sledging with the hills next to the visitor centre at Culloden Battlefield. A little bit out of the city but a popular spot for those that live in Balloch, Westhill and Culloden.

5. Craggie, Daviot

If you live a little further outside of Inverness, Craggie beside Daviot is another spot that many flock to when it snows. With long flowing hills the area is great for friends and families to take to the slopes.
