Inverness (IV) Area Overview
The IV (Inverness) postcode area, also known as the Inverness postcode area, covers a large section of the Scottish Highlands, including Inverness itself and surrounding areas. It's one of the largest postcode areas in the UK in terms of geographical coverage.
Inverness, often referred to as the "Capital of the Highlands", is a city located in the Scottish Highlands. It is the administrative centre for Highland Council and is recognized as one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe. The origins of Inverness can be traced back to ancient times, with evidence of a settlement dating back to the 6th century and has been a site of strategic importance due to its location at the mouth of the River Ness and its proximity to the Great Glen.
Elgin is a historic town and former royal burgh in Moray, Scotland. It's situated roughly halfway between Inverness to the west and Aberdeen to the east. Elgin Cathedral, often referred to as the "Lantern of the North," was one of Scotland's most impressive churches. However, it suffered extensive damage during the Wars of Scottish Independence and was further stripped of its lead following the Reformation, leading to its current ruinous state.
Strathpeffer is a village and spa town in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. Located west of Dingwall, it became popular in the 19th century as a spa resort due to its mineral waters, and it retains much of its historic Victorian charm today.
