Regarding Inverness, I'd give it a miss if I were you. Its a terrible place. No nightlife, the countryside is bland in the extreme, the roads are mega busy and it takes forever to get anywhere. There's nothing of any historic interest at all and everyone's so grumpy about having to live here that it makes for a pretty miserable populace. Its just the pits!
All in all you'd be much better going down south, Edinburgh and Glasgow are brilliant places.
Good luck with the move.
