Inverness Castle
Although not very old - it was built in 1835 - the castle occupies the site of an earlier fortress, dominating the River Ness
Footpath along River Ness
Inverness benefits from a good network of paths along both banks of the river and on to the islands. This is near the sports centre, looking downstream.
View over Millburn to Inverness golf course clubhouse
The burn had a number of mills in the past, now seems mostly to have shopping trolleys and other junk. The building in the background is the clubhouse which is marked on the 1:50000, as is the course.
Millburn Academy Inverness
First day of term I believe. The eponymous burn is directly behind where the photograph was taken.
Inverness College
Part of the University of the Highlands and Islands. A prominent building when driving into the centre of Inverness. Strictly speaking taken from just outside the square.
The Falcon's Return, Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness
‘The Falcon’s Return’ a larger than life-size statue cast in bronze by local artist, Leonie Gibbs. Surrounding the statue, you’ll find The Baked Potato, Café Centro, Lorimers, Pizza Hut Express and KFC.
Chapel of Royal Northern Infirmary
This chapel was built next to the RNI around 1896. It was dedicated to the memory of the first Lord Tweedmouth. The main nave was designed for Presbyterian worship but the transepts were used for Episcopalian and Roman Catholic worship. Old photographs show a slender turret but I believe this was removed in 1966.
River Ness near Ness-side
The picture shows a sluice (foreground) and a weir. In the middle left of the picture the straight edge a few metres above river level is the bank of the Caledonian Canal (not itself visible) which then veers away to the left. The distant trees just to right of centre show where the river divides around Whin Island.
Lochardil Stores
Local convenience store in Lochardil area of Inverness on the right of the building. There is a ladies hairdresser (blue frontage) on the left. Lies at one end of an open grassed area.
Forbes Fountain
An old fountain of Inverness which I think used to have a canopy. It has also been moved from its original, more central, position. River Ness can be seen in the background. The fountain lies between "The Islands" and "Ladies Walk" on the east bank.
Ballifeary is located at Grid Ref: NH6644 (Lat: 57.470156, Lng: -4.229867)
