14 Inverness Castle History in Inverness, Scotland

Malcolm III, the King of Scots, was the first to build a fortress on Castle Hill during the mid-11th century. This strategic position then witnessed a series of attacks and reconstructions through the mid-18th century. It was finally destroyed by the Jacobite army in 1746. The current sandstone citadel was designed by William Burn and finished in 1836. Today it is the Sheriff’s Court.
