Description

Description

The city of Inverness has a rich and complex history that spans over 2,000 years. Dating back to Pictish times, the area was inhabited long before the current city emerged.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the Clava Cairns, located just outside the city, date back to between 1500 and 200 BC, providing a glimpse into the region's forgotten past. Inverness has connections with several significant figures in early Scottish history, including St. Columba and King David I.

Despite its strategic location as an important trading port, Inverness maintained its independence from Edinburgh's political powers. This is evident in Mary, Queen of Scots' visit to the city, where she was forced to stay in a small house due to refusal entry to the Castle. The 'Capital of the Highlands' holds many secrets waiting to be uncovered.
