Victorian Market Tourism

The Victorian Market is a charming, historic indoor market located in the heart of Inverness, the Highland capital of Scotland. With its entrance situated on Academy Street, and other accesses from Union Street and the city's main thoroughfare, High Street, this market is a treasure trove for locals and tourists alike. Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian building dating back to 1890, it features original wrought-iron beams and wooden shop fronts that evoke the market's long history. Inside, visitors can explore a diverse range of shops and stalls offering everything from local crafts, gifts, and jewelry to specialist foods, sweets, and Scottish memorabilia. The market atmosphere is warm and inviting, providing a unique shopping experience that contrasts with that of modern shopping centers. While the market has undergone refurbishments over the years, it has retained its traditional charm and continues to serve as an important piece of Inverness's cultural and economic fabric. The Victorian Market is not just a place to shop; it's a glimpse into Inverness's past and a hub of community life where friendly shopkeepers take pride in their offerings.
