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.

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.
