Description

St Columba's High Church, located on Bank Street in Inverness, was designed by Mackenzie & Matthews and built between 1850 and 1852. The church features Perpendicular architectural details, constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. It has a four-bay nave and aisles, with a gable front facing Bank Street. The gable of the nave includes a four-centred arch beneath a Tudor hoodmould, topped with a four-light window. To the right, the end of the south-east aisle has a pointed-arched door under a hoodmould, with a cusped lancet window above it. On the left stands a four-stage tower with an octagonal spire, which is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a gabled clock-tower with paired pointed arches leading to the belfry and a parapet. The spire was originally supported by flying buttresses from the tower's angles. At the north-east end of the church, a transeptal sanctuary was added by John Rhind in 1866. The interior was restored after a fire by Leslie Grahame Macdougall around 1945 and includes a south-west gallery and a stained glass rose window created by Gordon Webster.
