St Andrew's Cathedral

Scottish Episcopal Cathedral, its riverside location and distinctive twin towers make it an Inverness landmark. 'Decorated' style by Alexander Ross, built 1860s, consecrated 1874. Founded by Bishop Eden, whose palace became the Eden Court Theatre nearby. The towers are devoid of spires because the money ran out!

Oh wow, once I read that about the spires, I could see that they are missing. Still beautiful though.

You answered my question even before I asked. I was wondering about the flat-topped towers.

The towers are still quite lovely!
