| Caption: | The Inverness Royal Academy War Memorial Hostel, June 1924. The hostel opened in 1922, with accommodation for about 60 girls. In the centre of the second-front row is the first matron, Miss Isabella Paterson. The hostel was partly funded by contributions from the Old Boys' Club, led by Evan Barron, a well-known former pupil. The building first used was the former Inverness Collegiate School building in Ardross Street, which is now the oldest part of the Highland Council Headquarters buildings. The hostel was moved to Hedgefield House in Culduthel Road in 1934. (Courtesy Inverness Royal Academy Archive IRAA_058). |
