Description
Inverness Through Time by Adrian Harvey Located at the heart of Scotland's Highlands, Inverness is a city with a rich and complex history. Once designated as a Millennium city in 2000, this Royal Burgh has been shaped by centuries of invasion, occupation and transformation. Despite being largely destroyed and rebuilt over the years, remnants of its past remain, including the 1592 house and Dunbar's Hospital of 1688. The city's strategic location at the head of the Moray Firth and the mouth of the Great Glen has made it a hub for travel and traffic, earning it another nickname as the 'Hub of the Highlands'. This unique position has allowed Inverness to absorb the spirit of the Highlands, making it an essential destination for anyone seeking to experience Scotland's natural beauty. Inverness Through Time offers a fascinating glimpse into this captivating city, exploring its history, culture and significance.
