Scope and Content This is a view of Inverness Retail and Business Park, built at Wester Seafield on the east side of Inverness in 1996. An excavation was carried out in advance of building and a Bronze Age cemetery was discovered. Arrangements also had to be made for the badgers who were displaced by the development. Within the Business Park behind the retail area is Stoneyfield House, built in 1780. The Snow Goose Inn, a well-known local restaurant, can be seen at the junction of the A96 and the side road leading into that area of the development, towards the top of the photograph. Situated on land that was originally part of Stoneyfield House, the Snow Goose was previously known as the Coach House Inn. Stoneyfield House was a smallholding on the Raigmore Estate which was built in 1780. In the early 20th Century, it was owned by a Neil D. Macintosh. Mr Macintosh sold the estate off in small lots in 1918 and one of the lots was the Coach House Inn. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
