Summary[edit]

Description

Another Friday - another walk around Inverness City Centre - and another visit to the Old High Churchyard. Though windy, the sun shone and the oldest church in Inverness looked particularly good in quality light.

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.
