Thistle Inn (1), 19 Celt Street
This independently owned pub has an interesting history. The original building dated from between 1690 and 1710, and was a coaching inn on the main road north to Beauly. In the 1860's permission was required for public houses to sell alcohol. The Thistle Inn was at first refused but apparently carried on trading, but re-applied a few years later, and was successful.
The building looks old but in fact it is a replica. The original had become unstable, and was demolished and replaced by the present building in 2003. The Mayflower lounge bar & function room was demolished in 2006, but the antique wood panels were preserved, and this part of the inn was replaced in 2008. This reconstruction must be a fairly unique event these days, when most pubs which were no longer in a fit state, would be demolished and the land used for other purposes.

Thistle Inn (2), 19 Celt Street
The very unusual design of the rear of this back street pub, can be seen here. The pub fronts onto Celt Street, but has side frontages to King Street (on the left in this view), and to Duff Street (on the right).

Allans Barbers, 56 Huntly Street
Located on the corner of Huntly Street and Celt Street. No barber's pole, but the window blinds or curtains are in the traditional red and white stripes, which is a nice touch.

George V postbox, Kenneth Street
This old postbox, which dates from somewhere between 1910 and 1936, is on the corner of Perceval Road and Kenneth Street. The street which can be seen in the background leading off Kenneth Street, is Celt Street.
New postboxes in Scotland have not displayed a royal cipher for several decades. This is because of controversy over the present sovereign's EIIR cipher. Although the Queen is Elizabeth II in England and Wales, she is, strictly speaking, Elizabeth I in Scotland. Queen Elizabeth the First (of England and Wales) was never Queen of Scotland. To satisfy these objections, when new postboxes were installed they showed a crown, but no royal cipher.
This postbox is number IV3 34. Last collection is 5.45 pm Monday to Friday, and 11 am on Saturday. The box can be seen in this view:- Image
