Aerial View of the Royal Northern Infirmary, Inverness (2)

This photograph shows an aerial view of the Royal Northern Infirmary (RNI) in Inverness. It is situated near the west bank of the River Ness between Ness Walk and Ballifeary Road.

The building of the RNI was suggested in 1797 and subscriptions were invited. The driving force behind the project was Provost William Inglis.

It was built between 1799 and 1804 by John Smith of Banff as a three-storeyed main block bracketed by two lower wings. The masons were James and Alexander Nicol of Kintessack, near Forres, and Hugh Suter of Inverness.

Alterations were carried out in 1864-66 by Mathews and Lawrie and a front block was added in 1896-98 by Ross and MacBeth. A Festival of Britain porch was added in 1954.
