Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the center of Inverness, head south on Academy Street towards the A82 road. Continue on the A82 for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km). Then take the exit toward A9/Moray Firth/John O'Groats. Merge onto the A9 and continue for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Take the exit towards A82/Glasgow. Keep left at the fork and follow the signs for A82. After 0.5 miles (0.8 km), take the exit toward A862/Inverness. Continue straight onto View Place, and the Flora Macdonald statue will be on your left, located in the park area near the river.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Flora Macdonald statue using public transport, start at Inverness Bus Station. Take any bus heading towards View Place, such as the number 2 or 8, which both serve this area. The journey will take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Disembark at the View Place stop, and from there, it's just a short walk to the statue located in the nearby park area. Look for the statue of Flora Macdonald and the Border Collie; it will be a prominent feature in the park.
