Celt Street Evangelical Church

The Celt Street Evangelical Church sits on a quiet road just outside Inverness, a proper working church rather than a tourist attraction dressed up in heritage clothing. The building itself is straightforward Victorian evangelical architecture - you'll recognise it immediately by its solid stone construction and the simple lines that were fashionable when it was built. It's still an active congregation, which means visiting requires a bit more thought than rolling up whenever you fancy.

This is really one for people with a genuine interest in Scottish religious history or those hunting for somewhere peaceful to sit and reflect. The interior is modest and functional, reflecting evangelical values of the era. Don't expect ornate decoration or the grandeur of larger cathedrals - that's rather the point. Worth a look if you're in Inverness exploring the area's architectural heritage, but you're only talking twenty minutes max, and you'll need to check opening times beforehand since it's a functioning church, not a visitor facility.

If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Bunchrew, Coulmore Bay, or Ardtower are all within a few miles - you might pass it while exploring Inverness itself. The town's got plenty more to occupy a full day, so factor this in as part of a broader wander rather than planning a separate trip. Early morning or late afternoon tends to be quieter if you do visit.
