Old High Church, Inverness
Old High Saint Stephen's Church is a parish church of the Church of Scotland in Inverness. The congregation was formed on 30 October 2003 by a union of the congregations of Inverness Old High and Inverness Saint Stephen's. Unusually in a union of Church of Scotland congregations, both buildings were retained for worship. Sunday services are held almost every Sunday in both buildings (at 10 am at Saint Stephen's and 11.15 am at the Old High), but both places of worship are under the jurisdiction of the one Kirk Session.
The Old High congregation was the oldest congregation in Inverness. It is on a site which has been used for worship since Celtic times. Saint Stephen's was founded as a 鈥渄aughter church鈥� of the Old High in 1897. It is a Gothic building in Morayshire freestone, designed by WL Carruthers. The congregation serves a parish area which includes the city centre, part of the Crown area, and the southern suburbs of the city, including Drummond and Lochardil.
