A SCOTTISH hotel has won a prestigious award for the most romantic in the UK.
Ness Walk, a five-star hotel nestled on the banks of the River Ness in Inverness, picked up "Best for Romance" in the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2024.
The hotel's website describes it as being "surrounded by a dramatic canopy of impressive trees".
It adds: "Ness Walk allows you to experience a secluded atmosphere in the heart of the vibrant city centre.
"Just a short walk from Inverness’s city attractions and only a 10-minute drive from the iconic Loch Ness, while the wild and untamed landscapes of the Scottish Highlands are right on our doorstep."

The venue was among several from Scotland to be crowned, with SCHLOSS Roxburghe – set on a Scottish Borders country house estate with a championship golf course to boot – also winning the award for best hotel spa.
Meanwhile, Crossbasket Castle, a hotel just outside Glasgow, picked up the award for best hotel for weddings, parties and celebrations.
Charlotte Evans, group publishing director at Condé Nast Johansens, said: “We are delighted to celebrate new and returning establishments across the globe.
“Following our 40th anniversary last year, the 2024 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence continue to acknowledge, reward and honour luxury hospitality from our carefully chosen collection of recommended properties.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
