Midmills Road, INVERNESS, IV2 3QL

TEC stands for Transport, Environment and Community, so the depot is home to a wide range of council vehicles and equipment, mostly concerned with looking after roads, parks, pedestrian areas, refuse collection and the like.

The porticoed building is the pavilion beside what I am told is the cricket pitch in the Fraser Park.

A wintry view looking over Mill Burn from Diriebught Road.

This is Diriebught Road, less than half a mile from Inverness city centre. The road is a cul-de-sac, serving just a few properties, and runs alongside Inverness Golf Course. Same road, opposite direction: Image

A view across Fraser Park. The park is used as a cricket pitch, this is the home of Highland Cricket Club. The cricket pavilion is visible on the left, with a line of trees along the park edge to the right.

Millburn Academy is a six year secondary school serving the area of Inverness east of the River Ness and the rural areas to the south of the city. The school first opened in 1961 as Millburn Junior Secondary School. In 1976 the school name was changed to Millburn Academy (as opposed to Millburn High School) after School Council pressure on the Education Committee. In January 2007 construction work began on the building of the new Millburn Academy, which opened on November 3rd 2008. The new Millburn Academy was built on the old school’s playing fields. The ground which the old school previously occupied will become the new playing fields. The £26 million state of the art building has a range of classrooms with specialist facilities, an integral base for children with additional support needs, a four court games hall, a gymnasium, dance studio, a library and a performance venue with bleacher seating.

First day of term I believe. The eponymous burn is directly behind where the photograph was taken.
