The Essential Shopping Guide to Inverness, Scotland
Inverness is only a small city, with fewer than 60,000 residents, but as it is central to a much wider geographical area there are far more shops than you might expect. Add to this the fact it draws in visitors from across the globe, and the options for shopping are surprisingly good, with something for everyone, all within a short walking distance.

Food Shopping
The different foods available in Inverness can surprise the visitor, and even a few locals, who may be more used to doing their weekly grocery shop in one of the larger supermarkets. If you are after gluten free food, then locally produced and award-winning Angelic Gluten Free products are sold at Holland and Barrett in the Eastgate Centre. In the Victorian market, visitors can buy foods from across Asia at Saffron Oriental Food, or walk a little further up Church Street to Victory Global Food where, as the name suggests, you can buy a surprisingly large range of speciality foods from around the world. With many traditional butchers, bakers, fishmongers, grocers and more, there really isn’t room in this guide to include all the delicious treats you can buy in the city, from Arbroath Smokies to haggis, or tablet to Scotch pies.
