Join us for this behind the scenes examination of the medieval charters of Inverness. Come and get up close to the documents detailing Inverness’ hidden history of land disposal, royal gifts and burgh improvements. Exposing the wishes of, amongst others, William the Lion, Mary Queen of Scots and Edona of the Auldcastle, this exploration of the museum’s reserve collections will introduce you to the deals, bargains and agreements that have shaped our streets. Please note that there are two options for this event, either starting at 11am or 2pm. These sessions are FREE, but booking is essential, as places are limited.
