Old High St Stephen's, Parish church in Inverness, Scotland.
Old High St Stephen's is a parish church in Inverness situated along Church Street near the castle. Its most striking feature is a sturdy tower base dating from the 14th century that dominates the skyline of the old town.
The site has held religious importance since ancient times and became a major church location in medieval times. The tower dates from the 14th century and the building witnessed turbulent periods during political upheaval in the region.
The church serves as the heart of the local parish and hosts regular services for the community. It plays a central role in the religious and social calendar of Inverness, drawing people from the surrounding area.
The building is located on Church Street, easily reached on foot from the center of Inverness and accessible from the castle area. Visitors should be aware that regular services take place and the church may not always be open for casual visits.
During a significant political conflict in the 18th century, the church tower was temporarily used as a prison. This episode remains part of local memory and marks a dramatic chapter in the region's history.
