Behind the Radar - Inverness

Tours are guided and so - except at 'slot start' times - we cannot usually accept 'drop in' visitors.

To avoid disapointment we recommend you book in advance.

We can often accomodate visits at short-notice, but we need pre-bookings. Out of season we need to arrange to have a guide on site.
