Where should I setup a bank account in Inverness?

We asked expats in Inverness what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Before retiring in Inverness, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other parts of the UK, but it's still higher than many places in the world. The city is known for its high quality of life, with beautiful scenery, a rich history, and a friendly community. Expats should be aware that the weather in Inverness can be quite cold and rainy, especially in the winter months. The city is located in the Scottish Highlands, which are known for their harsh weather conditions. Healthcare in Scotland is provided by the National Health Service (NHS), which is free at the point of use for all UK residents. Expats retiring in Inverness will need to register with a local GP to access these services. Inverness is a relatively small city, so it may not offer the same level of amenities and entertainment options as larger cities. However, it is close to some of Scotland's most beautiful natural attractions, including Loch Ness and the Cairngorms National Park. Expats should also be aware that Scotland has its own legal system, separate from the rest of the UK. This includes different laws regarding property and inheritance, which may affect retirees planning to buy a home or leave assets to their family. Finally, while English is the main language spoken in Inverness, the city also has a significant number of Gaelic speakers. Expats may find it beneficial to learn some basic Gaelic phrases, although this is not essential for day-to-day life," said a member in Inverness, Scotland.
