For many years I believe that this was MacDougall's "Temperance" (ie no drink) Hotel.

Is that Inverness? Judging by the prices, the photo is fairly recent but I just can't remember a place of that name in the town. There is perhaps a hint of Academy St or Union St about the ambience and that does look a wee bit like our Streetscape pavements but I just can't place it at all.

It was and always will be The Eagle

Many a post work drink shifted in here

Many an under age one for me. It was quite dear though. 3 shillings for a pint of lager or 3/3d with lime in about 1970.

I've got it now. Passed it many times but on that side of the street and never looked up so didn't realise the name had changed. It's probably one of the plusher premises on Baron Taylor's Street.

Did that become the Springfield ?

I don't think so but CB might correct me on that!

I don't think so either. I think Bught House was demolished in the 60s - as were its stables where we used to get changed for BB football matches. The Springfield, beside the RNI, became the Maple Court, didn't it?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

The inside of the Bught Hotel is too posh for most !!

The Springfield is now the Maple Court, that's another beautiful building that was demolished then!

Missed that one, no idea where it was, don't know the cars I would guess late 30's early 40's.

Is it possibly Church St across the Caley Hotel/Bank Lane corner where the Council Service Point is? (was?... it's maybe been closed like everything else.) In these days that would have been across Church St from the Northern Meeting Rooms.
