shop & eat at the heart of our city
Welcome to
The Victorian Market
Proudly situated in the heart of Inverness City centre, our market is home to the finest selection of independent retailers, services and food in the Scottish Highlands.
Our building dates back to 1890 and there are still so many wonderful historic features to admire, like the ornate cast-iron and wooden domed roof and beautiful round-headed shop fronts. Don’t forget to look out for the markings on the sandstone arch as you enter our Church Street entrance which the old fish merchants used to sharpen their knives.
Two Arcades intersect within the city block, creating three spaces within the Victorian Market which include the Market Hall, Market Arcade and Queensgate Arcade. These three areas host over 30 independent businesses, many who have been trading for generations. Each one is bursting with pride and passion for what they do and can’t wait to welcome you to the Victorian Market.
