The Inverness Castle Experience has reached two key milestones marking significant progress towards the scheduled opening later this year.
First, glazing of the new link building which will house the Saltire Bistro has been completed and installed by specialist contractors and second, the Rose Window, a historic feature, has been fully refurbished and is in place in the South Tower Story Room.
Suspended from the ceiling within a bespoke steel frame, the intricate Rose Window has been restored to show off its original craftsmanship, creating a focal point in the room where visitors will immerse themselves in the stories of the Highlands.
