UHI Inverness

Why go

The campus shows Inverness as a centre of education for the wider Highlands and Islands. Its training restaurant, salons and public events can give visitors a specific reason to go, while the purpose-built setting illustrates the college’s move from older sites around the city.

What to look for

• The main campus is a purpose-built educational complex at Beechwood.
• Public-facing training services include a restaurant and salons.

The full story

The institution formerly known as Inverness College UHI grew beyond its older city sites at Midmills and Longman. Its main campus opened at Beechwood in 2015 as part of a broader Inverness Campus development east of the centre. It belongs to the University of the Highlands and Islands, whose teaching and research are spread across a network of partner institutions rather than concentrated in one city. That regional role explains the range of courses and training facilities on site. For a visitor, the relevant part of the campus is its public-facing activity, such as the training restaurant, salons or advertised events. Classrooms and teaching buildings have their own purpose, so the campus makes sense as a destination only when one of those specific services or programmes appeals. The shift from the older sites also matters when navigating: the current main campus is not at the legacy city location.

Useful to know

• Choose a named public service or event before travelling to the campus.
• Use the current Inverness Campus location; the former Longman and Midmills sites are different places.
