Moderator applications
Hi folks,
After a few years of managing this place on my own, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot commit all the time required to keep things running as smoothly as I would like due to work and life commitments, which is not fair on the community as more and more mod mails and messages are going unanswered.
Due to this, I’ve decided to open up applications to accept 2 or 3 new mods. I’m happy for it to not be a very formal application process and just have people message me privately or put in the comments of this post why they would like to be a mod.
Mod experience is helpful, but not required, the most important thing is that you’re passionate about this community.
I’m not going anywhere either, I will still oversee this place, but I am happy to take a step back to let the new mods do their thing, and I will only step in if things are going very wrong. I will however always encourage the new mods to reach out to me if they have any questions.
I think that’s about it, I’m looking to seeing your responses and hopefully bringing a couple new people onto the team!
Cheers.

Best pub for a solo visit?
I’ll be in your lovely town weekend after next all on my lonesome and had a good goo online for pubs and bars to visit. I’m wondering which you’d recommend for someone on their own? Happy to remain on my own or chat with people around as long as there’s good vibes!
Edit: thanks for all of the recommendations, I will check them out! If anyone wants to join the more the merrier!

Lost hat
Hi all! I am visiting Inverness for a few days and seem to have lost my nice wool hat. It is a dark green Buff Marino wool hat, last seen after I parked on Hill st. I will be in town until Monday if anyone happens to find it.
Thank you!

Is clava cairns still over-run with tourists?
Hello,
I am a local (inverness)
And want to know if its still over run with tourists as i would like to go,
And not listen simulataniously to 1500 americans and whatnot pretending to be scottish and vandlising the area🤦♀️
Would tommorow be quiet and if so does anyone know what sorta time during 10-2 when it would be quietest?
And also if anyone would know the fastest bus there?

Any local companies replace failed double-glazing?
Does anyone know where I can find someone in the Inverness area who repairs or replaces failed double-glazed units? I'm not looking for entirely new windows, just replacement glass. "FIX from CR Smith", who specialise in such work, are based in Dunfermline and won't come here.

Loch Ness Lullabies radio show
Apologies if this isn't allowed and I won't be at all offended if you delete it, I'm blatantly chancing my arm!
I have a show on Mixcloud every Sunday at 6pm called Loch Ness Lullabies, it's completely free to listen to, has no ads and includes two hours of very chilled out music. I'm still feeling my way with the format but it's already built up a nice community of listeners. I'd love to get more locals involved and hope to be including some interviews and other bits of interest from around the Loch.

Long shot but anyone got any recommendations for where they get 18mm birch ply in Inverness?
Just ran out of what I accrued from Woodstock before it closed and all the usual places don’t stock it - TP,Jewsons,MGM etc
Given the delivery charges almost tempted to get it cnc’d if I have to get it from central belt.
Cheers

Boiler Service
I'm looking for recommendations for someone who can do a boiler service, for an oil heating system?
Not in desperate need right now, but soonish would be great 🤞🏼
Thanks!

House of Bruar
My child always says when the TV adverts come on
"Good place to poop"
And I have to admit, she is not wrong.
I love taking a posh shit here.
Anyone else?

Long walk
Hi, im planning to walk form Inverness to Nairn. Kinda thought I'd do it just so I could tell myself I'd done it. Has anyone on here done it and what route is best?

Good Trustworthy Garage
My mother-in-law’s car needs new front brakes and most likely discs. Anyone have any recommendations for a good garage? She was going to take it to the dealership but I know they’d charge her 3 times what it should cost.

Social Groups
Hi! I’m 23F and looking to make some new friends in Inverness, but I’m really struggling to find social groups for people around my age 😅
I work Monday–Friday 9–5, so I’m mainly looking for things in the evenings or at weekend (saturday after 3).
I’m into reading, writing, journaling/scrapbooking and generally cosy/creative stuff. I’d also be open to trying something new if it’s beginner friendly!
I’m not really into running, football, climbing or going to the pub just for the sake of meeting people. Ideally I’d love something fairly relaxed where it’s normal to turn up alone and actually get to know people over time.
I’ve already found a few of the Nook events and some local book clubs, but I’m wondering if there are any groups/classes/social things that just aren’t advertised very well online?
Any recommendations would be appreciated 😊

The wild world of Highland Hospitality employment
Seeing as we're nearing the arse end of the tourist season... Do we do bitching about employment scandals up here, same as they do on r/Glasgow?

Small bottles of liqueur?
Does anyone know of a place in Inverness that sells a variety of liqueurs in those tiny bottles? I need some for recipes.

Hairdressers that are good with vivids?
It feels like any time I've wanted to try something a bit different and dye my hair fun colours, my local salons have disappointed me by trying to play it safe by only ever doing highlights in the fun colours (instead of all over like was asked), or weren't interested in lifting my dark hair enough for them to show, or only had a small selection of vivids and didn't seem all that enthusiastic about them and were much more comfortable with the standard colours.
Does anyone have any recommendations for places that are actually good with vivids and more fun or alternative colours and styles?

If anyone finds Snoopy!!
Cross posted from r/scotland as per suggestions, I posted there yesterday about my lost little Snoopy.
Please, please, if anyone finds my little Snoopy, can you reach out to me.
My partner and I were at Culloden Battlefield and North Gateway Cafe yestwrday on the way back to Liverpool as well, we are staying there while in the UK, we stopped at Glenturrent Distillery and realised he's missing. We called the cafe, but they don't think he's there and wouldn't check while I was on the phone and my partner is certain he isn't at Culloden.
My partner thinks he accidentally left him behind at the North Gateway Cafe, where we had breakfast. We're so far away from there already to turn back, so if anyone finds him, please let me know. I'm so heartbroken.
He's travelled everywhere with us. He is my comfort while I'm away from my own puppies and home as this is my first time overseas, and he is a gift from friends who travelled to Vietnam.
And if my post needs something about Inverness, it's an incredibly beautiful place with so much depth and history. The cafe was lovely, and the little red squirrels the cutest.

Weegie looking for decent scran
Hello,
Up for a wedding reception this weekend. Instead of scrawling through trip advisor and social media, thought I’d give Inverness Reddit a chance for some local (or expert) advice for a late lunch to line our stomachs before celebrating in the evening.
Open to most things (no allergies or dietary requirements). Also looking for reasonably priced and not too expensive so happy with pub grub/pizza/burgers as an option
Welcome your advice and suggestions

Casual football options
Hi folks,
Just moved here, looking for a regular game of 5/7-a-side football during the week, indoor or outdoor.
If anyone has a game going and needs players, or could put me in touch with someone, I’d greatly appreciate it.
