Why go

The searchroom holds records covering Inverness, Nairn, Ross and Cromarty, and Sutherland. Pre-ordering documents can make a short research session productive; walk-ins are also welcomed. Its restricted weekday opening makes it a deliberate stop, best paired with the nearby botanic gardens after the archive work.
