→South-East along Loch Ness, towards Fort William and the Isle of Skye
== Hitching out ==
=== North towards Ullapool, Thurso and the far north ===
There is a roundabout near the football pitch at the far north corner of the city, within view of the bridge, through which the A9 runs. A short ways way up from this there is a large an area to pull over. If you are headed for Ullapoolnorth, you can ask to be dropped off at the roundabout where the A835 begins, just 6 miles from Inverness.
Alternatively, you can stand with a sign, on the corner, between the roundabout and the massive layby just before the North Kessock bridge. Cars will pull up at the layby behind you. Because of the distance, you may have to run a bit to catch up with them after they stop - but we have had multiple cars stop at the same time by hitching here with a sign.
=== South-West along Loch Ness, towards Fort William and the Isle of Skye ===
It is possible to hitch after the final roundabout on the A82 as it leaves Inverness. It doesn't look like a good spot, but it is the last chance before the footpath ends - and we have had success here multiple times. Just get in quickly when someone stops, so you don't cause traffic.
