Did a bit of a sightseeing drive that day and decided to stop by this Church. We've been in the…read morearea a few times before, but never visited this place. It's beautifully located at the Loch, right beside the A85. It was a busy day, but we managed to get a parking spot right by the church. There's street parking as well, but with the traffic going on it's good to have a chance to park on the offical (small) lot. It was built in 1881-6; and substantially extended from 1906 to 1914. Designed by the architect Walter Douglas Campbell. There are three chapels inside. One for me was especially interesting: The Bruce Chapel contains a carved wood and alabaster effigy of Robert the Bruce. We did spend more time than we've actually planned. It was just a very stunning place to take in. The architecture with all its detail, the couryard, the park, the views. It's a really amazing and impressive church. Even though well visited, I was still baffled that it isn't even more famous. Not that I did mind...overflowing with visitors it might be less impressive. But I just mean it does deserve a bit more spotlight. Donations are welcome, since there's no entrance fee. Dogs on leash are welcome outside on the grounds. There's also a little Café right next to - with toilets. Surely a beautiful place to visit when in the area.

They also had bathrooms which didnt see at some others. If youvlike cathedrals and are in the area give it a visit. But I wouldn't drive out of my way.

It was the first Catholic Church built in Inverness after the Reformation. The exterior is ancient looking, even though it's Victorian. The interior is insanely ornate and colorful and just gorgeous! Doors are open to visitors most days according to internet searches. One fun fact is they offer mass in Polish and are home of the Polish Chaplaincy for Inverness! When I explored further, I discovered there's a HUGE Polish population in the Highlands! Who knew haha! Very cool fun fact! There's plenty of street parking right outside the church and a lively school on the site. Definitely worth a stop when exploring lovely Inverness!

As pressed for time to make our dinner reservation, we didn't really go inside the church, but could tell it had lovely stained glass windows, which I hope can check out next time. Instead I wandered around the graveyard, which had a glorious amount of Celtic crosses on the gravestones as well as a crypt from the 1600s! My favorite graveyard stone was probably the chess piece (but was unable to identify what piece it exactly was - I think perhaps the knight?) Two other things: 1) Check out the bridge over the River Ness which is located right outside the Church - it is a suspension bridge and so I enjoyed the springiness & sway when walking across it. 2) On the pathway outside the church, heading towards the bridge, look down on the pavement, right before crossing the road. There is a stone engraving "Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers wash it away." Its from the Song of Solomon (I googled). Yelp 73/ 2019
