Acknowledgements

For the most part the vintage photographs in this volume were sourced from the Scottish Highlander Photo Archive which houses the collection of the Andrew Paterson Studio, the Joseph Cook Collection of Old Inverness, and the massive postcard collection of Roderick Maclean. Thank you to Andrew Chalmers, Fergus Weir, David Henderson and Roderick Maclean.

Other contributors I would like to thank include Dr Tony Smith, Willie Morrison, Robert Paterson, Nan Nairn, Hector Macdonald, Peter Snowie, Norma Grant, Jeff Macleod, Ishbel Macqueen, Anne Chisholm, Irene Jones, Sheila Burnett, Hamish Campbell, Tony Hogg, Rory Macleod, James M. Pirrie and Duncan Mackintosh. Thank you too to the many individuals who helped facilitate access to various offices and rooftops in order to take the comparison photographs.

For contributions behind the scenes, I thank Dave Conner, especially for providing the modern image of the Town House without scaffolding (which only went up the day before the scheduled shoot), the Rose Window in storage and for bringing to my attention various nuggets of valuable information.
