Vision to transform Inverness Castle into tourist attraction moves closer to reality
STV News was given rare access earlier this week to see inside the historic site, which has been under wraps behind barriers for several years.
Work is still under way, but what's taking shape promises to be a unique and immersive experience that will celebrate Highland culture, history, and storytelling.
The £40m project includes cutting-edge interactive technology, designed to guide visitors on a two-hour journey through the spirit of the Highlands.
Amy MacLeod of High Life Highland said: 'We're inviting people to discover the spirit of the Highlands through authentic stories gathered from communities across the region. It's about history, culture, language and, most importantly, the people who live here.'
The project has faced setbacks including Brexit-related delays and industry-wide labour shortages, but the team behind it remains optimistic.
Jason Kelman from Highland Council, who has overseen the transformation, said: 'It's the iconic building in Inverness, on postcards, in photos. To be part of its refurbishment has been a real privilege. I'm proud of how far we've come.'
There's still no confirmed opening date but after nine years in the making, the rebirth of Inverness Castle is finally within sight.

‘I used to feel defined by my salary – moving to France changed that'
In 2001, Andy Turner and his wife Jenny decided to buy a campervan and go travelling around Europe. 'It felt like an itch we needed to scratch. We did 24,000 kilometres and about 20 countries – through the Alps, down to southern Spain, and back up through the Pyrenees.' But it was when they visited a friend in France who was renovating an old property there that the idea of staying on the Continent took hold. 'Little by little, we came to love France. And by the end of the trip we thought, why don't we sell the campervan and use the money to buy somewhere?' says Turner. The six-month sabbatical from work turned into a new life for the couple. They bought a place near Beziers in the South West, in a small village of about 2,500 people, with schools and a hospital nearby and the coast a 40-minute drive away. Andy would split his time between France and their home in Wimbledon, London, for work as a marketing consultant, while Jenny, who had just found out she was pregnant, would stop working for a few years. Now, 20 years later, Andy, 62, has retired to the house in France and spends all of his time there, while Jenny is commuting back to London part-time to her job in financial services. Their children Camille, 20, and Etienne, 17, are both in education. 'I've always had a sense of adventure, but never envisaged myself retiring overseas. My life constantly surprises me,' says Turner. Brexit has hit expats Now Andy is retired, a typical day involves walking his Cocker Spaniel, Obi, and spending time outdoors. He has joined an association that restores dry stone walls and buildings in the local area, and enjoys riding his motorcycle. According to the International Living annual Global Retirement Index report, France is the fifth best place to retire in the world. It is rated for its food, arts and scenery, as well as its healthcare system and affordable property prices. On an overall cost of living index, France and the UK rank similarly, at 63.5 and 63.9 respectively, according to the online database Numbeo. It said the cost of eating out, public transport and utilities are cheaper in France, but groceries are cheaper in the UK. Property prices vary significantly between regions, but it estimates that a non-city centre apartment would cost about £3,247 per square metre, compared to £3,674 in the UK. Andy will receive his full state pension in a few years, having filled in the gaps in his National Insurance contributions. He hasn't yet accessed his private pension savings. 'We're lucky that we have savings and are debt-free, and Jenny is now paying into a company pension,' he says. In France, British expats still get their state pension uprated each year under the triple lock, which guarantees that the payment rises by the highest of inflation, average wage growth or 2.5pc. There are an estimated 150,000 British expats living in France, according to the wealth management company Chase Buchanan. But moving there has become harder since Brexit – you now need a long-stay visa or residence permit to live in the country. This may involve proving your income meets a minimum requirement, based on the French minimum wage – about €1,400 (£1,214) a month after tax – and providing documentation such as your passport and medical insurance, plus details of where you will live. Andy says the family applied for a residence permit based on the UK's Brexit withdrawal agreement: 'It was a lot of work, but we now have a 10-year permit, and have decided to apply for nationality to protect ourselves from any future changes.' Normally you will be deemed a tax resident if you have either lived in France for at least 182 consecutive days or have registered for a residency permit. This means you will be taxed in France on your worldwide income and must submit a tax return. You may also have to submit a UK tax return if some of your income comes from there, but a double tax treaty between the two countries means you should not be taxed twice on the same income. Paying tax in France Income tax works very differently in France, and is levied on household rather than individual income. The family is divided into parts, and their total income split between the parts. The income tax rate you pay depends on this figure. The number of parts is based on the make-up of the household. For example, a married couple would have two parts, and an additional half part for each of the first two children. Income between €11,498 and €29,315is taxed at 11pc, rising to 30pc on income above this threshold and up to €83,823. The top rate of 45pc is paid on earnings above €180,294. There is also an additional high income tax for earnings above €250,000 and €500,000. Similar to our National Insurance contributions, you will also pay a second tax on income known as social charges. 'This is an aggressive tax, but you do get what you pay for in terms of the benefits,' says James Rayburn, from the international financial advice firm Wealth Genesis. 'For example, it is one of the greatest healthcare systems in the world and unemployment rights are very strong.' Bear in mind that France also has an inheritance tax, the rate of which depends on the beneficiary. Spouses, for example, inherit tax-free, while children get a €100,000 tax-free allowance and are then taxed from 5pc to 45pc. Non-relatives have an allowance of just €1,594 and are then taxed at 60pc. Income from investments, such as dividends and capital gains, are taxed at a flat rate of 30pc. Expats should get an S1 form which can reduce this tax rate and exempt them from social charges.' 'The S1 form makes a huge difference to the tax you will pay,' says Rayburn. 'This is important because there are no super-efficient ways to invest in France – there is no equivalent to an Isa or Venture Capital Trusts.' The Assurance Vie is a commonly used option for expats as a tax-efficient way of saving, says Rayburn. This is technically a type of life insurance contract, which can offer inheritance tax benefits, but also allows you to invest in a range of investments, including funds and exchange-traded funds, in a tax-efficient way. An international self-invested personal pension can also be a good choice for those who want to access their retirement savings while living abroad. These let you draw down flexibly on your funds, with the ability to withdraw the cash in different countries and currencies. To avoid being double-taxed or charged emergency tax, be sure to get a nil-rate (NT) code from HM Revenue & Customs, which lets the tax office know that you are no longer resident in the UK. 'Live like a local' Moving to a country where English is not the first language may present a problem for many British expats. 'It's important to learn the language. It's not easy but you have to make the effort,' says Andy. 'If you just socialise with people from your own country, that feels limiting to you as an individual and disrespectful to the people you're living around.' As well as learning French, he says that having children also made it easier to integrate. The biggest downside of living overseas is not being able to see family and friends often. 'You need to consider the extra travel costs if you are visiting several times a year,' says Andy. 'But it does make the time you spend together extra special.' Meanwhile, costs have gone up since Brexit, he says, and travelling back to England can take longer, with more delays at the border. 'We used to easily buy from British companies, but lots of companies won't ship to Europe now, and if they do, you pay an import tax.' But for the most part, he is happy with life in France. 'The best thing about living here is the climate. It has such a huge impact on your life and sense of wellbeing when there are 300 days of sunshine a year,' says Andy. 'In the UK, it feels like you're defined by what job you do, how much money you earn, how big your house is. This has shown me there is another way, and maybe we should all try it.' For anyone considering making the move, he suggests renting a home through different seasons to test the waters first. 'It's all very well going somewhere on holiday, but the place that is vibrant in the summer could be cold and isolated in the winter,' he says. 'Make a list of the things that are important to you, like having schools or the beach within walking distance, and then go and live like a local.'
