Dating back to the 18th century, the church’s simple yet elegant architecture reflects its long-standing presence in the community.

Fab food tour - We have been on food tours all over the world so it was great to try one closer to home. It gave us a whole new perspective on Inverness. The food was excellent - with Miele's ice cream probably the biggest hit with Harry Gow's pies a close second and the salmon from Duncan Fraser third - and the stories informative and entertaining. Definitely worth the money - you won't need dinner after this! Cath was as entertaining as ever - Invernessian born and bred she seems to know just about everybody!
