I'm a PPL flying a Group-owned aircraft based at Inverness. I've occasionally had check-outs on the Highland Aviation Pa28 and Pa38s., and I've been very impressed with the instructors. There have been changes - I've only flown with one of the present full-time guys- but I've no reason to believe they're any different.
Highland Aviation now have their own maintenance facility at Inverness.
The local weather is better than most areas for training - only the landaway cross-country needs good weather.
The airport has Tower and Radar frequencies, but is still in Class G Airspace.
There's a frequent bus service linking the airport to Inverness, Nairn, and Elgin for accomodation if you don't have a car . As well as having a more than adequete free customer car park, Highland Aviation is near the Terminal and bus stop.
Look at

I lived in Inverness for 36 years, and still fly there since retiring in 2006. I've flown there since 1986.
