2000-year-old city discovered under Inverness

The remains of a 2000-year-old city have been discovered under Inverness and it is being hailed as one of the most important recent discoveries in Scotland. The site is located near Inverness Royal Academy and was reveiled by a team who spent almost a year excavating the remains of seven large roundhouses and almost a dozen iron kilns.

A quote from the Inverness Courier:
Among the items found below a site near Inverness Royal Academy, now being developed by Tulloch Homes, were part of a bronze horse harness, an enamelled bronze brooch, dozens of woodworking tools and a large iron sword.

"It has been a privilege to work on this remarkable site,” Mr Murray told an audience at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel on Church Street. "We found boxes upon boxes of iron and bronze objects and these are all at the National Museum of Scotland being analysed.
