Inverness from the viewpoint on Ord Hill
There is a way marked path on Ord Hill to a good viewpoint over the Kessock Bridge and Inverness beyond. The River Ness enters the Moray Firth directly opposite the viewpoint. Hills block the southern expansion of the city and form sides to the valley occupied by Loch Ness.

River Ness Estuary
The mouth of the River Ness at South Kessock.
The River Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Nis) is a relatively short river about 12 miles long which flows from the northern end of Loch Ness, through Loch Dochfour, to Inverness, where it discharges into the Beauly Firth. The river is the origin of the name of the city of Inverness which is from the Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Nis, meaning "Mouth of the Ness".

Beauly Firth and Kessock Bridge
The Kessock Bridge (Gaelic: Drochaid Cheasaig) is a cable stayed bridge which carries the A9 trunk road across the Beauly Firth, an inlet of the Moray Firth, between Inverness and the village of North Kessock.
The bridge has a total length of 1,056 metres with a main span of 240 metres. It is raised high over sea level because the Beauly Firth is a navigable waterway. The four bridge towers dominate the Inverness skyline, especially at night when they are lit. Construction on the bridge began in 1976, with completion and opening in 1982. Prior to 1982, travellers north of Inverness had the choice of the Kessock Ferry or a journey via Beauly.
