| Description |
The Old High Church is the original Parish Church of Inverness. There has been a church on this site for 900 years and the site may also have been the location for the first church in Inverness following St columba's preaching from (probably) this spot in 566. In the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (April 1746) the church was used to house Jacobite prisoners, and those sentended to death were executed in the graveyard. The "bottom end" of Church Street in Inverness is a quieter part of the Town (City) Centre these days, and yet it contains some really old and beautiful buildings which really should attract more visitors. Grouped closely together between Church Street and Bank Street (River Ness) are the Dunbar Hospital, Old High Church and the Free North Church. At the top end of Church Lane is the Dunbar Hospital, alongside the lane (its graveyard running the length of the lane) is the Old High Church of Scotland, and at the foot of the lane facing the Greig Street footbridge over the River Ness is the Free North Church of the Free Church of Scotland. The last couple of days, while the sun shone (briefly each day!) I have had a wee opportunty to wander about with my camera and take some shots from different angles. |
