Not sure if it is going to open regularly.  There was one councillor present and the Provost, who was showing children her chain and having phototgraphs taken.

 

A side corridor had a wall covered in ships' crests but there were too many people around to easily photograph them.

Lovely. Do you think it's possible to arrange a visit? I will be up there again at some point this year and it would seem a shame to miss them. Whom might one contact, do you think?

Thanks. When we have a visit planned I will do that. I've suggested Inverness as a retirement destination. Mrs Broomfield seems happy for me to go, but the daughter who lives there is less keen. Mrs Broomfield hasn't, as yet, expressed a preference for joining me.
