Beginning with Inverness' founding before the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC, the author provides an overview of memorable occurrences that have shaped the region's history, up until the mid-19th century. Over the course of nearly 1600 years, the author highlights key events such as the establishment of a bishopric in 1058, the granting of a royal charter in 1214, several fires that destroyed much of the town, its growth as a major port and trading hub, and the Jacobite Uprising of 1745-46. The book also includes information on notable local clans, including the Macintoshes, Mackenzies, and Camerons, as well as the building of notable local landmarks, such as the Inverness Castle and St Andrew's Cathedral. Readers with an interest in Scottish history will appreciate this detailed account of the rich and eventful past of Inverness and the surrounding region.
