Old Photographs Union Street Inverness Scotland
Old photograph of shops, people, horse and cart, and buildings on Union Street in Inverness, Scotland. Inverness on the River Ness, is a city in the Scottish Highlands. It is regarded as the capital of the Highlands of Scotland. Medieval Inverness suffered regular raids from the Western Isles, particularly by the MacDonald Lords of the Isles in the fifteenth century. In 1562, Mary, Queen of Scots, was denied admittance into Inverness Castle, but the Clan Munro and Clan Fraser took the castle for her. Inverness played a role in the first Jacobite rising in 1689. In early May, it was besieged by a contingent of Jacobites led by MacDonnell of Keppoch.
