One of Inverness’s oldest buildings will next month start offering “time travel tours” for visitors to discover more about the city’s history.
Staff from the National Trust for Scotland will be offering the walking tours of the city every Thursday to Sunday at 1.30pm from Abertarff House, the oldest secular building in Inverness.
The team say they have researched every possible nook and cranny of the city to bring a new angle to their tours.
Starting and finishing at Abertarff House in Church Street, the 90-minute tour will be explore Jacobites, riots, monsters and magic.
Abertarff House manager, Katey Boal said: ‘The tours start on July 4 and are being run by our fantastic engagement team.
“They have been spending hours delving into history to find the wild, wacky and incredible stories of Inverness to share with our visitors.
“Our team have learned about hippopotamus feet, witches, and risings to bring the history of Inverness to life.
“They are really fascinated with what they have found out, and are very excited about sharing this with visitors to the city.
“The tours can be booked on our National Trust for Scotland website.”
Abertarff house built in 1593 as the town house for the Frasers of Lovat.
After Colonel Archibald Fraser’s death in 1815, the house passed to Archibald Thomas Frederick Fraser.
The Commercial Bank of Scotland acquired the house in the 19th century and gifted it to the National Trust for Scotland in 1963.
