EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1947, showcases the bustling Airport of Inverness located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The aerial perspective allows us to marvel at the remarkable transformation of this once humble airfield into a vital transportation hub. As we gaze upon the image facing south, our eyes are immediately drawn to the expansive runway stretching out before us. The presence of an airplane parked on the tarmac hints at the ceaseless activity that must have characterized this airport during its heyday. Adjacent to it stands a hangar, perhaps housing other aircraft awaiting their turn for takeoff or undergoing maintenance. Adding charm and character to this scene is the River Ness meandering gracefully through the landscape. Its glistening waters reflect sunlight as they wind their way towards distant horizons. Two bridges elegantly span across its breadth, connecting different parts of this picturesque region. While we cannot overlook how time has shaped and transformed airports since then, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of aviation's history and significance in shaping communities like Inverness. It captures a moment frozen in time when travel by air was still relatively novel and held an air of excitement and adventure for those fortunate enough to experience it. As part of Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland's collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Inverness' past while honoring its contribution to Scotland's rich heritage - all without delving into commercial use details but rather focusing on preserving historical moments for generations to
