An iconic ‘rose window’ saved from a former church in the Highland capital is being used in the transformation of Inverness Castle.
The attractive window has been held in storage by the local authority since it was removed from its original site on Inglis Street at the time of the Eastgate Shopping Centre construction in the 1980s.
The rose window was originally created for the Methodist Church in Inverness, built in 1867.
The cost of the gable end window – £1200 – is recorded in Highland Archive Service records as being ‘the gift of a friend’.
