Inverness Royal Academy Higher Drawing Room, 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. (Courtesy Inverness Royal Academy Archive IRAA_056).

Benno Schotz (1891-1984) was born in Estonia, but emigrated to Glasgow in 1912, where he gained an engineering diploma from the Royal Technical College. From 1914 to 1923 he worked in the drawing office of John Brown and Co, a Clydebank shipbuilders, while attending evening classes in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Although Schotz is frequently referred to as an Estonian sculptor, all his professional life was in Scotland.

He was made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow in 1981 and died in 1984. He is buried in Jerusalem. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.
