History of the market

The covered market was first built in Inverness in 1870. Sadly, nineteen years later a fire destroyed most of the market. The only part that survived was the entrance on Academy Street, which remains to this day. A rebuilt market opened in 1891. An impressive building with a glass and timer roof, supported by cast-iron columns. With a Market Hall and rows of shops with elegant round-headed fronts, providing plenty of choice for shoppers of the day. Today, it is still a popular shopping area in Inverness. The shops sell a range of quality goods, including clothes and accessories, gifts and souvenirs. There are also cafés and a barbers’ shop.

Shops and services

The shops and cafés in the Victorian Market are run independently. No High Street chains here! So, if you’re looking for a unique shopping experience, this is the place to come.
