Inverness Cathedral
Inverness, Highland
An imposing building constructed in pink sandstone which stands close to the west bank of the River Ness and looks across the river to the city centre and to Inverness Castle.
Seating capacity is 1,400, making it not only the largest church in Inverness but it also has the tallest steeple, which stands at over 50 metres. The church is a significant and iconic part of the built heritage of the Highland Capital. It is the last heritage church building in the city centre still in use for its original ecclesiastical purpose. The attractive front elevation faces the River Ness and is the backdrop for many tourist photos.
It has the largest capacity of any building in Inverness and has a beautiful barrel ceiling. The interior is finished in the original terracotta colour and the extensive internal pine finish means that the building is good acoustically.
