The Islands, Inverness

ID: QZP40_CARD_3380 DESCRIPTION: This postcard contains a painted view of the Islands at Inverness, bordered by the MacKintosh tartan and coat of arms. The Islands are a popular recreational spot for the people of Inverness. Prior to the construction of bridges between the islands, the area was only accessible by boat. The chiefs of Clan MacKintosh have been traced back to descend from Shaw MacDuff, the third son of the Earl of Fife, in the twelfth century. As a reward for putting down a rebellion in Moray under the banner of King Malcolm IV, he was granted lands in the region.
