As the start and end point of the North Coast 500, a Lonely Planet must-do experience, (2019), you’ll never be stuck for something to do, with unforgettable glens, lochs, mountains and beaches on your doorstep.
Based in the UK's most culture-rich city (The Times 2019), Inverness is shaped by the region’s rich cultural heritage, from its language and history to its stunning natural environment and vibrant arts scene.
Perth
Once known as the capital of Scotland due to its favour with royalty, Perth is a bustling, compact and beautiful city with many restaurants, bars, shops and an award-winning concert hall and theatre. Perth sits at the gateway to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, containing breathtakingly stunning scenery and a rich cultural heritage.
Fantastic for seeing wildlife and thrilling outdoor activities, with hill-walking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, white-water rafting, horse-riding, golf, fishing, canoeing and climbing, amongst other adventurous opportunities, are all on our doorstep.
Being only one hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Perth has been voted one of the best places in the country to live and is one of the friendliest and safest cities in the UK.
Highland Theological College
Choose from HTC’s bases of Dingwall, Perth or Paisley.
Base yourself at Dingwall in the Highlands, with Inverness just 15 minutes away. Dingwall or “Þingvöllr”, was once the Viking capital of Scotland. It is just a stone's throw from the Black Isle, which is known for culture and craft, seafood and wood-fired pizzas.
Or choose the Paisley campus, just outside of Glasgow, or Perth, where you will get the best of the Highlands while still being close to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
