The Castle of Inverness, perched above the River Ness in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, is a striking example of 19th-century architecture built on a site with deep medieval roots. While the current red sandstone structure dates back to 1836, earlier fortresses on this spot played significant roles in Scottish history, from clan battles to Jacobite uprisings.
