Overall Crime Rate Of 39.4 Crimes Per 1000 People
Located at the yawning maw of the infamous Loch Ness, Inverness is the largest settlement across the entirety of the Highlands. A gateway to the Orkneys, Shetlands and onwards, the city is a true bastion of Scottish culture, with many of the last remnants of the Gaelic language found there. Plus, a crime rate of just 39.4 crimes per 1000 residents makes it all the more attractive a prospect.
There are still problems plaguing Inverness, however. Significant figures across road traffic offences (6438 incidents), crimes of dishonesty (2458 incidents) and crimes against society (2417 incidents) all present a focus for both police forces and security in Inverness.
