The Victorian Market is a covered shopping arcade in the heart of Inverness, dating from the 19th century. Its wrought-iron and glass roof shelters a charming collection of independent shops, from bookstores and craft galleries to a traditional fishmonger and a cheese shop. The market's two sections, the East Arcade and the West Arcade, offer a mix of local produce, gifts, and eateries, including a popular pie shop. Visitors enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere and the chance to find unique souvenirs away from chain stores.
Don't miss

- Browse handmade crafts and Scottish gifts in the independent boutiques.
- Stop for a steak pie or a sweet treat at the market's historic bakery.
