Scotland - Inverness City (Part 2) - Executions in the Old High Church graveyard seems barbaric but that is part of Inverness’ legacy after the battle of Culloden…

Inverness part 1 gave you an overview of the area and history of the town. In this Podcast Inverness part 2, you will walk the streets of Inverness to hear about the prominent historic buildings and be told of some of the stories behind these iconic structures. From St Columba in the 6th Century to Lord Lovat (Simon Fraser) executed after the Battle of Culloden in the 18th Century – as they say if the walls could talk. There is, however, enough historical evidence to give you a real feel for what went on within the walls of these fascinating buildings and, as you walk down the old medieval streets, you will get a real sense of what it would have been like to live in those times. Today Inverness is a thriving city but you never get a feeling of being overwhelmed. It is charming in itself with the river Ness flowing right through the middle and it is a delight to walk around and take in the sights - come an join me on this meandering podcast.
