The groups of islands off the coast of Scotland hold a strong fascination for the thousands of people who embark on the sea crossing each year. The islands are unique: remote, romantic and often mysterious, they exert a magnetic attraction which draws visitors back again and again. The Hebridean island of Islay lies off the coast of Argyll, linked to the mainland of Scotland by a year-round vehicle ferry. Its varied landscape makes it attractive for hill-walkers, and its long and sometimes bloody history has left plenty of traces in the landscape for amateur archaeologists to explore. Its beaches are pounded by the full power of the Atlantic surf, which has sculpted spectacular cliffs and formed empty miles of sandy strands, where Vikings once beached their longships. The ancestral seat of the medieval Lords of the Isles. Islay is brim full of history, but with a full range of modern services and accommodation for visitors. Famous the world over for its whisky, the spirit of 'the Queen of the Hebrides' lures people back again and again to enjoy its scenery and tranquility.

Using many images which have never before been published, Lost Inverness explores the vanished buildings and streets of the capital of the Highlands. The medieval town was gutted by mid-Victorians in a frenzy of redevelopment without a trace of sentimentality, and in the process many fine public buildings were created. But the postwar “improvements” in the town center, especially in the 1960s, have left an embarrassing legacy of architectural blight. Fortunately, many fascinating old photographs and drawings survive, and this book draws on the resources of Highland archives, libraries, and museums to create a memorable record of a missing urban landscape. From the speculative sites of Pictish forts and Macbeth’s castle to Queen Mary’s house and the old suspension bridge below Inverness Castle—itself blown up by the Jacobites in 1746 and replaced by the 1830s prison and courthouse—this collection revives memories of shops, offices, and public buildings now replaced by a homogenized streetscape.

Lost Inverness, using many images which have never before been published, explores the lost architectural heritage of the capital of the Highlands. The list of vanished buildings and streets is a long one. The medieval town was gutted by our mid-Victorian ancestors in a frenzy of redevelopment, without a trace of sentimentality, and in the process many fine public buildings were created. Sadly, the post-war 'improvements' in the town centre, especially in the 1960s, have left an embarrassing legacy of architectural blight.Fortunately many fascinating old photographs and drawings survive, allowing us to celebrate much of what has been lost. This book draws on the resources of Highland archives, libraries and museums to create a memorable record of a missing urban landscape, from the speculative sites of Pictish forts and Macbeth's castle, to Queen Mary's house and the old suspension bridge below Inverness Castle, itself blown up by the Jacobites in 1746 and replaced by the 1830s prison and courthouse.This book will appeal to all who know the city of Inverness, whether as natives or visitors, and to exiles everywhere, as it revives memories of shops, offices and public buildings now replaced by a homogenised streetscape.
