RETAIL CENTRES AND PARKS

Inverness has several excellent retail parks with the Inverness Retail and Business Park on the east of the city, the Inshes Retail Park on the southern edge and Telford Retail Park west of the river.

A brand new shopping plaza opens in the centre of the City in 2003, with Debenhams having pride of place.
