" I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes With the memorials and the things of fame That do renown this City." — Shakespeare. f^ NVERNESS, as its name indicates (Inbhir-Nis 'the inver of the Ness"), is '^r- situated at the mouth of the river Ness, the town, which originally lay V^F entirely on the east side of the river, being now extended to the west side, where indeed a large proportion of the most prosperous of the citizens reside. For beauty and variety of surroundings it is unsurpassed in Scotland. In the summer and autumn seasons it is a highly popular resort of tourists, sportsmen and excursionists, its attractions, natural, artificial, and historical, giving it a conspicuous place among the pleasure resorts of the kingdom. Its climate too, is mild, temperate and healthy. To its natural attractions, Inverness in modern times has added the advantages of railway and steamboat communication with all parts of the kingdom. It is of importance to intending residents to know that Inverness is well provided with schools. The Royal Academy, founded in 1793, is a handsome new building Inverness from the River. [D. Whyte. on the Crown lands, and is equipped on the most approved principles, and thoroughly staffed for the work of higher education. The Inverness College, a spacious quad- rangular building, is situated in Ardross Street, and gives education after the model of the English public schools. The College is a centre for army preliminary examin- ations. There is ample accommodation for boarders. The Board Schools are the High School (a higher grade school), the Farraline Park School, the Central School, the Merkinch School and Clachnaharry School. Other schools are : the Burgh Technical and Art School, the Kindergarten School, the Cathedral School, Bishop Eden's Mission School, the Roman Catholic School, and a number of excellent private seminaries. The Inverness dialect of English, noticed by Johnson and Defoe, still enjoys its character of great purity and beauty. The streets of the town are substantially built, its drainage system is most com- plete, its shops are large and its hotels numerous and well appointed. THE EXCHANGE. The most convenient starting point for the visitor who desires to see the principal ' ' places of interest in the town, is the Exchange, as the ' planestanes ' in front of the Town Hall are called. In the centre of this flagged space stands the Forbes Fountain, presented to the town by the late Dr. George F. Forbes, of Millburn. In close proximity is the ancient Mercat Cross of the burgh, recently restored through the generosity of Sir Robert B. Finlay, K.C.. while Member of Parliament for the Inverness District of burghs. At the foot of the Cross will be seen Clach-na-Cudainn, or the Stone of the Tubs, the palladium of the burgh. It received this name from the cir- cumstance that it formed the resting place of the servants and lasses of the olden time as they carried their tubs or stoups of water from the river, before the era of gravitation water. The Town House, whose front wall extends the whole length of the Exchange, is quite a modern building, in the decorated Gothic style. It contains besides the Town Hall, the Council Chamber and Committee Rooms, the offices of the Town Clerk, the Town Chamberlain, the Burgh Surveyor, the Sanitary Inspector, and the Burgh Assessor.

The front portion, built in 1834-35, contains the Sheriff Court House, the offices of the Sheriff clerk and the County Police Station. The back half of the Castle building was erected in 1846-48, and was for many years the County Prison. It has recently, however, been converted into offices for the use of the County Council, the prison being removed to Porterfield, a short distance to the east. Right in front of the Castle stands a striking monument erected in 1899 in honour of Flora Macdonald, the Highland heroine who befriended Prince Charlie in his wanderings and contrived the means of his escape to France. The view from the Castle Hill is one of surpassing beauty and variety. It com- mands a wide sweep reaching from the hills of Ross-shire round by the Beauly Firth, Craig Phadraig, with its vitrified fort, the northern terminus of the Cale- donian Canal, the Leacainn, where stands the Northern Counties Lunatic Asylum, Tomnahurich Cemetery and away to the south the Great Glen of Albyn, which ex- tends from the Moray Firth on the north-east to the waters of the Atlantic on the south-west.

  • Naming the Loch Ness Monster
    Nature Vol. 258 December 11 1975 Naming the Loch Ness monster Recent publicity concerning new claims for the existence of the Loch Ness monster has focused on the evidence offered by Sir Peter Scott and Robert Rines. Here, in an article planned to coincide with the now-cancelled symposium in Edinburgh at which the whole issue was due to be discussed, they point out that recent British legislation makes provision for protection to be given to endangered species; to he granted protection, however, an animal should first be given a proper scientific name. Better, they argue, to be safe than sorry; a name for a species whose existence is still a matter of controversy among many scientists is preferable to none if its protection is to be assured. The name suggested is Nessiteras rhombopteryx.

  • Looking for the Loch Ness Monster by Stuart Clyburn
    Part 5: Independent Practice Lesson 3 Read the scientific account. Then answer the questions that follow. Looking for the Loch Ness Monster by Stuart Clyburn 1 The word loch is a Scottish Gaelic word for lake. And there are a whole lot of lochs in Scotland—more than 500 of them! But one loch, Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, is known around the world. The reason for its fame is not its great size or beauty. People know the name Loch Ness because it is said to be the home of a mysterious, giant creature known as “the Loch Ness monster.” Whether the creature really exists or not has been a matter of great debate for decades. 2 What does “Nessie,” the popular nickname for the monster, supposedly look like? By most accounts, she has a small head on a very long neck. Her body is broad and rounded, with four flippers and a long tail. If you know your prehistoric creatures, you might be thinking: Nessie sounds like a plesiosaur, a giant sea reptile that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. One common theory about Nessie is that she actually is a plesiosaur. Other explanations for Nessie are far less dramatic. Some people think that the “mysterious” creature people have mistaken for a monster may have been nothing more than a walrus, seal, or eel. 3 How could a creature as big as a plesiosaur hide in a lake? Well, Loch Ness is a huge body of water. It’s the second largest loch in Scotland, based on the surface area of its water.

  • 40 V.—Recent Geological Changes on the Moray Firth. D
    Downloaded from http://trned.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Toronto on July 21, 2015 40 EDINBURGH GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. V.—Recent Geological Changes on the Moray Firth. By THOMAS D. WALLACE, F.E.S.A Scot., Head Master, High School, Inverness. (Read 6th January 1881.) Introduction.—The purpose of this paper is to localise and describe certain physical features now to be seen in and around the Moray Firth. Before doing so it will be necessary to state clearly the exact area included in the following observations. That arm of the German Ocean usually known as the Moray Firth, is naturally divided into three distinct parts, as follows:—. 1st. The most westerly portion, extending from Beauly to Kessock Ferry at the mouth of the Ness, is called the Beauly Firth or Beauly Loch. 2d. The second and middle portion is occupied by the Inver­ ness Firth, and extends from Kessock Ferry to Fort George. 3d. The Moray Firth proper extends from Fort George to the German Ocean. The whole is bounded on the north by the counties of Eoss and Cromarty, and on the south by Inverness, Nairn, Elgin, Banff, and Aberdeen shires. Area of Observations.—This paper is confined to the Beauly and Inverness Firths, and the south shore of the Moray Firth proper as far as Port Gordon. It takes up the geology of the shore where it was left in the " Geology of Eathven and Enzie," read before the Society (May 1880). It may be interesting to remember that the district under consideration includes the whole of the northern boundary of the " old province of Moray," which included forty-five parishes, and extended along the south shore of the Moray Firth from Beauly to a little beyond the mouth of the Spey.
