Former Argyle Bar
This building on the corner of Gilbert Street and Grant Street has the look of having once been a bar, though it is now private housing.
Update: I am grateful to Lynn Mackay, who has been in touch to inform me that the building was at one time the Argyle Bar. It is a listed building, and has been converted into flats.

River Ness, Waterloo Bridge
Waterloo Bridge at Inverness.
The city of Inverness takes its name from the River Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Nis) which is a relatively short river about 12 miles long flowing from the northern end of Loch Ness, through Loch Dochfour, to Inverness, where it discharges into the Beauly Firth. The origin of the name Inverness is from the Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Nis, meaning "Mouth of the Ness".

Merkinch Welfare Hall
At 30 Grant Street, next to the junction with Brown Street. The welfare hall was built in 1914 for the Catch-my-Pal Union, a temperance organisation. The drum clock was originally on the town steeple, before it was brought here in 1931.
After lying derelict for a number of years, the hall was restored in 2017. It is now in use by Inverness City Boxing Club and Merkinch Partnership.
It is a Category C listed building. http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB43488
