SECRET INVERNESS

The city of Inverness has its origins in Pictish times, but the area was inhabited long before then, with the nearby Clava Cairns dating back to 2000 BC. The capital of the Highlands has connections with major figures including St. Columba, who ‘tamed’ the fabled Loch Ness Monster, MacBeth, who lived in a castle in the city, and King David I, who built the first stone castle. All these secrets and more are revealed in this collection of the forgotten, the strange and the unlikely.
