Inverness College

A dull day. I was expecting a small package (Mrs P's birthday) from a courier called "Yodel" which I had never heard of before. As their very poor tracking system informed me the package had arrived in their Inverness depot on Friday midday I was, stupidly, confident it would come today. So I stayed in until late afternoon when I had to go for a retinopathy appointment but just as I was leaving Mrs P appeared and took over watch duties. Needless to say the package has NOT appeared and searching the web for a telephone number was discouraged to be met with dozens of complaints about Yodel.
Anyway on the way back I had to deviate through the Crown area and took this shot of the Midmills Building - one of the the offshoots of Inverness College or as it now proudly proclaims itself "UHI - University of the Highlands and Islands" The building previously housed Inverness Royal Academy until, I think, the late 1970s when the IRA moved to its present site not very far, as the crow flies, from here. I have to say that the old building is far more pleasing to my eyes than its later reincarnation. I quite like that central spire thing. I believe the IRA grew out of the grammar school which was sited in the town but can't remember offhand when the move to the Midmills Building was made.
