Inverness - the City of today

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Book yerself in

Was reading about the Old High church recently.   Apparently it's quite unusual in Scottish churches, but there are folk buried under the floor inside that church.

And they reckon that there will be some under Leakey's as well

Beauty or Beast ?

[IBM]

Beast they would be better demolishing the lot. I don't think cladding is a good option for any building

Nice morning in the city.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I have had blurred visions of these many times !!

[IBM]

Where is this and where was I taking the photo from?

[+weeman]

Very close to home

   Just checking that this is in the correct thread?

It's OK, I have got it.  My first hunch was quite close - used to go, many years ago, to a farm shop not far from there.

I see it's for sale for an awful lot of money.  Have you had any interest?

As to where you were, I'm not sure where you'd have to be to have a clear view.  Maybe near the sea end of the Muirtown Basin?

Oh wait... how long is your lens?  You were in the main stand at Caledonian Stadium?

Your right with the first bit and I used to go to the same shop. It was a bit scary coming back down with a 56lb bag of tatties on the rack behind the seat of the bike and bags on the handlebars I will put another clue on later 

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Maybe Caley Stadium isn't quite the correct line.  Kessock Ferry? 

Or, since you appear to be on much the same level as the house, the north end of the bridge?

[IBM]

Your getting warmer I wasn't on the bridge 

[IBM]

Another view from the same place.

[+snorbens_caleyman]

So that's on Kessock Road, on the way to the ferry.  And these two boats are in the Google Streetview image from September 2015.

You're possibly at the light at the mouth of the river, but without knowing how much of the foreground you have cut out, it's difficult to say.

The house on the hill was Scorguie House and Lodge - yours for £910,000

It is Scorguie House, I didn't know it was for sale but it is way out of my price range  'weeman' will have a view from his house over the water.

The second one is the old Coastguard houses on Kessock Road and the photos were taken from the mouth of the river at Carnac Point on a beautiful Sunday morning.  We often park at the old ferry terminal and go for a walk through the Merkinch Nature Reserve where you see a lot of birdlife.

Here is Tangle Tower from the same place which is the old Coastguard lookout post and now a holiday let.  http://www.tangletower.co.uk/

 

 

 

[+weeman]

Here is one from me

[IBM]

Not much to go on there but it's definitely out of town My first thought is the old railway line from Spean Bridge to Fort Augustus 

[+weeman]

No, not there

 

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Tough one!  Just down from the Falls of Foyers, looking due north to Loch Ness.

[+weeman]

That's it, well done

 

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Thanks, weeman.  I erroneously thought that it might be further down that side of the loch, and it was only when I was looking at the map that I saw the river and the bridges at Foyers.  I hadn't appreciated how wide the river is downstream from the Falls. The colours are lovely.

Head over to the "out of Sneck" thread for another "where is this?".

But now there is the new gathering place that they spent three quarters of a million pounds on
