Inverness Cathedral was build from 1866 to 1869, on the shore of the River Ness, as the Protestant Cathedral Church of St Andrews, belonging of the Scottish Episcopal Church. This Cathedral have an impressive external aspect, with two huge towers, and a carved portal. Inside the Cathedral we admired the large nave, with two side galleries. We saw some massive columns, some beautiful stained glasses, carved wooden pews, and a wonderful mosaic on the floor. The ten bells of this cathedral sound a special song. Also, we visited an interesting souvenir shop. The Cathedral worth a visit.

Just walk around and check the dates of the tombs. Some have more than 300 years. Please be respectful of the dead. It is a perfect combination of city views, history and history at the best.

I try to go to Mass when I travel and St. Mary's is right on the river & across the bridge. A group of us were able to attend Mass before dinner with a nice walk about.
