Forres Sale Rooms

Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 29 Jun 2013

From the look of the windows, I think this is really former Forres Sale Rooms. It was the cattle mart, built in 1867 to a design by A and W Reid. It has, apparently, some interesting internal features. The carved arch above the door has a ram's head at lower left, a bull's head at the top and a sheaf of grain at lower right, symbolising its original purpose.
