We hope you enjoy your visit to our Cathedral and to the Scottish Highlands.

The Cathedral is the work of a local architect, Alexander Ross (1834-1925), himself a member of the congregation. The foundation-stone was laid in 1866 by Dr Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, the first official act in Scotland by an English Archbishop since the establishment of the Presbyterian Church in 1689. The Cathedral was opened for worship in 1869, and services have been held here every day since.
