Queen Mary's House, Bridge Street, Inverness in 1968

ID: QZP40_MELDRUM_024 DESCRIPTION: The house in this photograph was occupied by Mary, Queen of Scots in August 1562 while her army laid siege to Inverness Castle and it subsequently became known as "Queen Mary's House". The first and second floors were altered in 1787 though the ground floor and cellars remained largely unchanged from Mary's time right up to the point that the building was demolished in 1968 to make way for a new office block.
