Inverness is the most northerly ring of bells in a church tower, in a picturesque setting on the River Ness.

Recent recruitment drives have new learners into the band.  Inverness has supplied a ringer to the Tartan Spartans, Scotland's entry into the National Youth Striking Competition for two years' running, and he has recently called his first quarter peal.

Interesting Facts

Inverness bells were infamous for the badly out of tune 9th bell and pink ringing chamber.  However, all this changed in 2012, with a newly-cast ninth bell, and subsequent redecorations.  Visitors are now in for a treat of a ring.

While in the ringing chamber, look out for the 'Beaufort Scale of Ringing', a reprint from The Ringing World of many years' past.
