The governments of the United States, Canada, and Australia all recommend exercising increased or a high degree of caution when visiting the UK. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, adhere to safety measures provided by local authorities, have a clear emergency plan, and keep updated on local media reports.

Inverness is a very safe place to travel to. I think it probably helps to have a hired car in order to make the most of the experience of the surrounding beautiful nature, but there are lots of tourist bus tours etc that you can use
 There's plenty of interesting history in the area too, especially at Culloden battlefield.
The centre of the town is small but has plenty of lovely restaurants. 
The locals tend to be very friendly, but the population does double in size during the tourism season which can make people a little frustrated at times 😅
If you like hiking and swimming, there is loads of beauty to enjoy.

Inverness is nice, but it didn't amaze me that much. It's a good starting point to head to Loch Ness, the Highlands, or even to the Isle of Skye, which is incredible.
