Discovering the Experience
A' Lorg An Turais tron Chaisteal
Welcome to the new Inverness Castle Experience
Unlike a traditional castle, this building once served as a courthouse and small jail before being transformed into the experience you see today. Inside, you’ll discover stories shared by the people of the Highlands — voices that bring the spirit of this remarkable place to life.
Step inside and explore both the North and South Towers. In the South Tower, the voices of storytellers guide you on a self‑guided tour through an immersive audio‑visual journey that celebrates the people, heritage, and landscapes of the Highlands. In the North Tower, the narrative continues through music and tapestries. Together, these experiences blend sound, imagery, and craft to capture the true essence of the Highlands.
