Inverness (/ˌɪnvərˈnɛs/ ⓘ; Scots: Innerness;[5] from the Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Nis [iɲɪɾʲˈniʃ], meaning "Mouth of the River Ness") is a city in the Scottish Highlands, having been granted city status in 2000.[6] It is the administrative centre for The Highland Council[7] and is regarded as the capital of the Highlands.
Historically it served as the county town of the county of Inverness-shire. Inverness lies near two important battle sites: the 11th-century battle of Blàr nam Fèinne against Norway which took place on the Aird, and the 18th century Battle of Culloden which took place on Culloden Moor.[8] It is the northernmost city in the United Kingdom and lies within the Great Glen (Gleann Mòr) at its northeastern extremity where the River Ness enters the Beauly Firth.
With human settlement dating back to at least 5,800 BC,[9] Inverness was an established self-governing settlement by the 6th century with the first Royal Charter being granted by Dabíd mac Maíl Choluim (King David I) around 1160. Inverness and Inverness-shire are closely linked to various influential clans, including Clan Mackintosh, Clan Fraser and Clan MacKenzie.[10] Local clans unique to the city include Donnchaidh of Inshes (Robertson), MacSheorsa of Castlehill (Cuthbert), MacLean of Dochgarroch, Fraser of Leys and Kinmylies, Baillie of Dunain, Shaw of Essich, and Forbes of Culloden.[11]
The population of Inverness grew from 40,969 in 2001 to 46,969 in 2012, according to World Population Review.[12] The Greater Inverness area, including Culloden and Westhill, had a population of 56,969 in 2012. In 2016, it had a population of 63,320.[13] Inverness is one of Europe's fastest growing cities,[14] with a quarter of the Highland population living in or around it.[15] In 2008, Inverness was ranked fifth out of 189 British cities for its quality of life, the highest of any Scottish city.[16]
