Right next door to Leakey's Bookshop is this glorious church with its fantastic graveyard and…read moreabsolutely worth a visit. 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

St Mary's is a very beautiful Roman Catholic Church right on the River Ness built in the mid 1800s…read more It's known for its decorative altar and lovely stained glass windows. 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!

St. Giles cathedral in Edinburgh allows you to go in for an optional donation and is much bigger and has more to see, so this doesn't seem with the spend. But it is beautiful, albeit small.
