Inverness Caslte

Explore the city
There's plenty to see and do in and around Inverness – just leave yourself enough time. Browse city shops old and new, from the Victorian Market to the new award-winning shopping complex, Eastgate II. Take a stroll to Inverness Castle, currently used as a courthouse, and St Andrew's Cathedral, which dominate the River Ness and what has been described as one of the most beautiful riverside settings in Britain. Enjoy the fine circular walk from the castle along the river and through the Ness Islands where, in the peak season from July to October, you can watch anglers casting long lines to leaping Atlantic salmon. Buy a daily ticket and try it for yourself. Above the city lies Craig Phadrig, once the stronghold of Pictish Kings, which offers interesting forest walks. From here you can enjoy magnificent views of the Moray Firth, home to a diverse range of wildlife including bottlenose dolphins which can be seen from the shore or on trips available from harbours along the coast.

When visiting our area be sure to check out our zebra crossings! The four legged ones that is - you'll find them at a wildlife park near Inverness. It can be a jungle out there - so earn your stripes and go zebra spotting with the family!

History and heritage
Inverness has a long history, having evolved from an ancient fort to the Capital of the Highlands. The city and the surrounding area is now home to 65,000 people, but it was much smaller when St Columba visited the Royal Court of the Pictish King Brude (or Bridei) in 565AD. Legend has it that, in 1040, Macbeth, of Shakespeare fame, built his stronghold in Inverness. In 1158 King David of Scotland awarded Inverness its charter as a Royal Burgh.

Robert the Bruce, of spider fame, seized the first of the city's five castles from English forces in 1307 and, in 1562, Mary Queen of Scots had the Governor of Inverness Castle hanged for refusing her entry to the Burgh. Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite troops were defeated in the famous Battle of Culloden - the last battle on British soil - in 1746. Thereafter, Fort George - now considered the finest 18th century fort in Europe - was established just outside the city.

In 1822 the spectacular Caledonian Canal was completed by Thomas Telford, linking Inverness to the west coast of Scotland. In 1921 Inverness Town House hosted a historic meeting of the British Cabinet- the only Cabinet meeting of the British Government ever held outside London. A momentous day for Inverness came in 2001 when it was formally declared Scotland's newest city. For more information about this historic city, visit or contact Inverness Museum where a wealth of information awaits you.

Inverness Riverside Churches
Old St Stephen's Parish Church is the custodian for the Old High Church. The nine riverside churches are linked to form their own individual website.

Kirking of the Council
The Kirking of the Council is a significant tradition that dates back more than 400 years. It is an important partnership between the Old High Kirk and the Council that enables the Kirk to publicly ask God's blessing on the work of the elected Members and their Officials and for the Council to recognise the Christian community's contribution to the City of Inverness. This, the second Sunday in September is now an important date in the calendar of events for the City of Inverness - one that is highly valued by the Council and the Kirk.

Genealogy
If you are interested in your family history we have a dedicated reference room in Inverness Library. Consult old parish registers, census returns, grave stone inscriptions maps, council archives and lots more. Our genealogist can provide free short consultations and longer consultations can be booked for a fee.

Round and about

Historical and cultural attractions are popular and include the large battlefield and visitor centre at Culloden, the historic Caledonian Canal and Clava Cairns, a fascinating archaeological site. Leaflets are available describing in detail these and many other ancient sites.
