Inverness Castle, perched on a cliff overlooking the River Ness in Inverness, Scotland, is a prominent historical structure with roots dating back to the 11th century. The current red sandstone building, constructed in 1836 by architect William Burn, serves as the Sheriff Court and is not typically open to the public. However, the grounds offer panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape. The castle has a rich history, having undergone numerous reconstructions and playing a role in various historical events, including the Jacobite risings.
