Cairngorm Taverns acquired 96 Academy Street, Inverness in August 2013.
Cairngorm Brewery restored this historically significant building to create a vibrant year round, flagship bar and restaurant showcasing Cairngorm and Loch Ness Brewery brands alongside other Highland and Scottish food and drink producers.
The most challenging part of the project was getting the infrastructure and internal services of this listed building which was built in 1895 into the 21 century by complying with fire regulations and building control requirements whilst maintaining the integrity of its amazing historical features both inside and out.
Finding the mosaics on the frontage saying ROSE STREET FOUNDRY AND ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED was by far the best surprise of the renovation. They had been painted over with white paint so no-one knew this mosaic was still there! This was then restored in the same way as the mosaics in the arches.
