he Bulletin,” VoL 71 —No. 3653  

Wednesday, February 15,1950

Registered at the Genera! Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.

CAPITAL OF THE HIGHLANDS IS QUAINT OLD INVERNESS  

INVERNESS is beautifully situated at the north-eastern end of the Great  

jf Much contains the Caledonian Canal. Through this ancient town  

3ws the broad, swift-flowing River Ness, which carries the waters of Loch  

ess over the eight miles separating that loch from the Beauly Firth. Inverness,  

eobble streets and quaint old buildings, breathes the spirit of past  

\hp as Played leading part in almost every important event in  

p- S? ce ’ xt century, when St. Columba brought the Gospel  

pat r»r Ictlstl tvmg Brude, whose capital was Inverness. This remained the  

■Hp rmrtu succ^ ss l° of Pictish kings, and after them it continued to rule  

*‘ipvpntVi as tae Ca tef town of the Mormaers of Ross and Moray in the  

invpm Ce ,il ur t’ Maimed to be independent of Scottish kings. At  

famo V?. Macbeth had his castle until it was destroyed by  

present ing uncan ’ avenger, who built anew castle on the  

and cottl War of Independence Inverness played prominent part  

Bruce rnit? 1™ 25 by the English. It was here that Robert the  

he destrnvpH Int Legions, and when he recaptured the town in 1307  

yhe castle. In later reigns the town suffered from the savagery  

of the Highlandmen, and was the scene of many assemblies called by the  

kings in their attempts to control the wild fchieftains. After his release from  

captivity in England, James held Parliament in Inverness when he came  

to restore law and order in the Highlands.  

It was to Inverness that Mary Queen of Scots came in 1562 to find the  

gates of the castle closed against her—a gesture of defiance which cost the  

Governor his life the following day when the castle surrendered. Owing to its  

strategic importance, Inverness was the headquarters of Cromwell’s Govern-  

ment in the Highlands, and he established fortress here in 1652^-57.  

During the Jacobite risings the town was occupied alternately by the  

Jacobites (1715) and by the Hanoverians, and it was at Culloden Moor, five  

miles distant, that the battle was fought which shattered the hopes of Bonnie  

Prince Charlie.  

Inverness Castle, as it appears today, was built in 1843 to serve as  

Court House and to provide administrative offices for the county. In front  

of the castle is statue of Flora Macdonald, whose name is associated with  

the escape of Prince Charlie to France after many adventures in the  

Highlands.
