Bank Street, Inverness. The central building was used as the headquarters of Inverness District Scouts from 1931 to 1935, being then known as the Maud Lawson Hall, after Lady Maud Lawson of Dochfour, who had been a keen supporter of Scouting. The building was opened on 23rd June 1931 by the Prince of Wales, but was sold due to structural problems only four year later. Before 1931 the building was known as the Royal Halls. The Theatre Royal, on the far right, burned down in 1934, causing a stir in Inverness at the time as people thought it had been predicted by the Brahan Seer who said that when a theatre in Inverness was built between two churches, it would be destroyed by fire. The theatre was situated on the riverside between the Free North Church and the St Columba Church. The building on the far left now houses the Riverside Gallery, and the central building is where CYC is located. Moray House now occupies the site where the Theatre Royal stood.*

Invergarry Castle. Built on 'the Rock of the Raven,' the castle was last occupied in 1746. In that year, in retribution for Glengarry's prominent role in the Jacobite campaign, Cumberland's troops pillaged and burnt his stronghold before using gunpowder to demolish a corner of the castle, ending a turbulent 80 year period of attack and counter-attack on the castle. The 'new' castle had been built to replace an earlier one destroyed by General Monk in 1654. After Culloden the castle was never rebuilt and the ruins still stand in the grounds of the Glengarry Castle Hotel.*
