Secret Islands in a Scottish City
Molly’s latest post takes readers on a morning walk across Inverness’s Ness Islands, a city‑center nature reserve linked by Victorian suspension bridges. She describes the burst of spring blossoms, wood anemone carpets and the sight of a dipper, the only truly aquatic songbird. The islands, purchased by the town council in the early 19th century, blend historic architecture with quiet wildlife refuge. Molly frames the experience as a gentle escape from the bustling city, highlighting the islands’ role as a beloved local haven.
