About Inverness Cathedral
Inverness Cathedral is a Scottish Episcopal cathedral beside the River Ness in Inverness. Dedicated to Saint Andrew, it is the episcopal seat for the diocese covering Moray, Ross and Caithness. The church continues to serve as a diocesan cathedral and is designated as a Category A listed building. It is the northernmost surviving diocesan cathedral on mainland Britain.
Its congregation developed from a mission founded across the river in 1853. Robert Eden selected Inverness for the new cathedral, whose first stone was placed by Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1866. Alexander Ross, an Inverness architect, designed the building, which was finished in 1869. Red Tarradale stone was used for the structure, with Peterhead granite chosen for the columns along the nave. Insufficient funding prevented construction of the intended pair of tall spires. Features include ten bells used for change ringing and windows created by Hardman & Co. The large west window portrays Christ at the Last Judgement and commemorates Bishop Eden.
