Inverness in bygone years
Dunbar's Hospital
|
Dunbar's Hospital on Church Street, was an ancient looking house said to be built using the materials from Oliver Cromwell's Fort. It was bequeathed to the community by Provost Dunbar in 1668, but was afterwards used as a grammar school until the opening of the Royal Academy in 1782. |
| The building was then divided to serve as a parish library, female school, female work society, the ground floor being occupied by the fire engines. During the time that the cholera raged in Inverness, part of it again served as a hospital. | |
