Celebrating and interpreting the ‘Spirit of the Highlands’ in 100 Stories will be the core theme of the visitor experience. The new attraction will add to the tourism offer in the area by creating a must-see visitor attraction that celebrates the spirit of the Highlands past, present and future, including its creativity, wellbeing, culture, heritage and natural environment.

It will create a gateway for Highland tourism, contributing to reinvigoration of tourism across the area and providing much needed investment for the industry to aid the recovery from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Key elements of the exhibition and content design include a showstopping feature in the main courtroom in the South Tower of the Castle and a wide variety of multi-sensory experiences, including interactive, immersive and audio-visual content, audio and digital interpretation and programmed events and activities.

The transformation of Inverness Castle is a Highland Council project, managed by High Life Highland, and supported by £15m Scottish government and £3m UK government investment through the Inverness and Highland city region deal. 

The Inverness and Highland City Region deal is a joint initiative supported by up to £315m investment from the UK and Scottish governments, The Highland Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and University of the Highlands and Islands, aimed at stimulating sustainable regional economic growth.
