Cheap Day trips on Scotrail with Highland Railcard. Day Returns to Kyle as cheap as £8 using it. Only applicable to householers in certain postcode areas but generally all of Inverness City applies and anything north.

The Card costs £7.50 and gives you Half price travel on all stops between Inverness to Thurso, Inverness to Kyle and Glasgow / Oban / Mallaig / Fort William llines only.

Up to 2 kids travel for £2 each as well using the card.

Oh and another - Highland Council run a scheme called Highlife for access to sports facilities across the Highlands.

Its a discounted Gym membership sheme, payable by direct debit, but the beauty of it is that allows you access to a huge number of leisure sites across the area at no extra cost. Handy for if you are on your travels.

Details at https://www.highland.gov.uk

10% off at Borders (retail park) and Ottakar's (Eastgate centre) at https://www.couponuk.com They used to have a bogof on fish suppers at Harry Ramsden's but it doesn't seem to be on there anymore. Just register then print off a coupon. You get a limited amount of coupons and they are only valid for 2 days after printing so only print them if you are going to use them.

Hiya,

re the Highlife card, there isnt any info on the cost of it on the HRC website

I'm interested as the new sports centre in Grantown is part of the scheme (if the PE staff let anyone in !! )

Anyone tell me how much it would cost for a family card ??

Cheers

Hi,

The highlife card is £20 (ish) per month for a family card (family is classed as 2 adults and as many dependant children as you have), Really good value for money.

Nice to see a local thread! :T

The MFR charity bootsale is this coming sunday 13th May at the blackisle show ground near Muir of Ord.

For an excellent meal out I can recommend Blacksmiths sports bar in Culloden. I know its been of a dubious nature in the past but has been really turned around by the present owners. Portions of food are HUGE! and great prices (Kids only allowed in lounge/ restaurant).

Suggestions please for the best takeaway/ chippie in Inverness??

I suggest Hilton Chippy as the best traditional chippy but Harry Ramsdens for "fish n chips"

For A tasty chinese meal the Magic Wok (Culloden) does a simply divine House special Curry & fried rice!

Ehm... I think thats all for now,

Cheers

Kirstie's up at charleston shops has always been pretty good. 1st pizza direct seem to have a massive menu now and always have some special offers on.

The Friary in Beauly is f*ckin fantastic, cooked to order and not the cheapest but you get what you wait/pay for
