Drill Hall

The Drill Hall was opened in 1911 for the Muir of Ord Company of the 4th Seaforth Highlanders. The Officers in charge at that time were Colonel MacKenzie of Ord and Captain William Forbes. The purpose of the building was to assist in the efficient training of the Territorial Forces, which by 1914, would come in extremely useful.
Captain Forbes used the premises to run his business following the loss of his shop to a fire in 1930.

Today the Drill hall is home to the Inverness & District Model Railway Club.
