An Inverness theatre playbill, for Monday 1 August. The entertainments were for the benefit of Mr Watkins and included the drama 'Orphan Of Geneva' and the laughable interlude 'Unfinished Gentleman'. This was followed by a comic song by Mr Watkins and the fifth act of Shakespeare's tragedy 'Richard The Third'. To conclude, the farce 'The Weathercock' was shown.
The first theatre in Inverness is said to have dated from 1805 and was situated on what was once called Theatre Lane, near Inglis Street
