To the West side of White Lodge Guest House we have the Inverness Aquadome and International Olympic pool, plus the beautiful Torvean 18 hole golf.

If you don't want to get involved in sporting activities, you can go for a relaxing cruise down Loch Ness on the Jacobite Queen, taking in Urquhart Castle, and with luck "Nessie Spotting". You can visit the historic Fort George, Cawdor Castle and Culloden Battlefield. the site of the final battle in the 1745 Jacobite uprising.
