Inverness Cathedral’s designer Alexander Ross is subject of special talk at Cromarty History Society
The architect who designed one of Inverness’s most famous buildings as well as a host of others in Ross & Cromarty and beyond will be the subject of a special talk later this month.
Alexander Ross (1834-1925) designed Inverness Cathedral as well as the Bishop’s Palace.
But his design influences extend far further, with him having a hand in the likes of Skibo Castle, Invergordon Castle, the Hugh Miller Institute in Cromarty and more.
Other buildings include St Regulas Church, the old primary school in Avoch and even farm cottages at Killen.
And Cromarty History Society will be exploring his fascinating life and work at its meeting on Tuesday, March 18.
Local architect Calum Maclean will tell the meeting about Ross’ lasting legacy, as covered in his latest book, and also highlight projects in the Black Isle..
Mr Maclean is a conservation architect and founder of MAAC Studio Ltd, specialising in the care and management of historic buildings throughout the Highlands, including in Cromarty. He provides advice and guidance to homeowners on appropriate repairs and maintenance. He is the Cathedral Architect for Inverness Cathedral and Diocesan Architect for the Scottish Episcopal Church.
The meeting begins at 7.30pm in the Victoria Hall and refreshments will be served afterwards. For visitors the cost will be £5.
