The River Ness running fast and blue between bare trees near the Ness Islands, under a clear sky

The Ness Islands

Ness Bank and Bught Park, a 15-minute walk south of the city centre

Follow the river upstream from the city centre and cross the Victorian footbridges onto the wooded islands in the middle of the Ness.

Why it's a good date: It's an easy loop with the river on both sides, and you can talk the whole way round. Go on a summer evening, when it stays light until late, and walk back along the opposite bank for a change of view.
