Inverness Castle
Inverness Castle is a red sandstone castellated complex overlooking the River Ness in Inverness, Highland, Scotland. The present main (southern) block was completed in 1836 and the north block, originally a prison, was added in 1848; the building historically housed the sheriff court and county administration and is a Category A listed structure.

As it stood in 1848
The shape it held in its prime.
A long red-sandstone castellated frontage set atop a grassy riverbank, composed of a symmetrical seven-bay southern range with a central round-headed entrance and battlemented parapet. The composition includes multiple round towers (one tall cylindrical tower at the left and several shorter drum towers) and a square tower to the right, linked by low bastioned enclosing walls. Windows are predominantly round-headed; roofs are low and largely concealed by crenellations. The complex sits on a sloping embankment above the River Ness.
