Inverness

the town center

a once prosperous town center full of interesting shops of many kinds now laid waste due to the incompetence and short sightedness of the town fathers as they scrape and bow to the might of Tesco and other national chains. The new center(s) of Inverness a couple of large sheds to the side of the railway station (and what happened to the railway stations original excellent architecture?) with the forcourt of one passing for the "city square". The other center being a dismal shopping precinct a couple of miles outside of town dominated by a behemoth of a Tesco store. Sad decline since the 60s that could have been averted by upping the quality of the council.

Both E Nicol and J Mackay should perhaps go back to the stone age you came from? If you opened your eyes you would see that not only past architecture can be appreciated for its unique beauty, but also modern architecture. I doubt i can expect this from such narrow minded people as yourselves. I agree that Tesco have heavy and somewhat unwanted grip on the city....however it is for the people to stop with objections to their creation?

For years I have planning a Rough Guide to the Highlands for foreign tourists. It consists of one page that says 'Avoid Inverness' in 200 languages.
