Inverness Royal Academy Gymnasium, 1912. Between 1895-1980 the IRA was located in the Midmills building, currently the UHI-Inverness College (2013). The classroom scene was photographed at the time of the completion of the first extension to the Academy, running along Midmills Road opposite the side entrance to the Crown Church. The accommodation was shared in the early years with Inverness High School, when that school occupied the building which now houses the Crown School, only a short distance away. Accommodation included rooms for science and art, with a gymnasium and these are 'posed' publicity shots. This image was captioned Gymnasium in the Highland Times, 2nd July 1914.
