Holm, Inverness

Holm, Inverness

Holm is a small residential area in the south of the city of Inverness, Scotland.

The most prominent building in this area is the "Holm Mills". The mill is known for its contribution to the Caledonian Canal, by weaving a cloth to prevent the embankments from leaking. Until recently, tartan was still being woven in the original building. The premises are now a shop and visitor Centre. [ [http://www.lochnessview.com/html/facts/1005.html] ] .

A large electrical substation is situated in this area which services most of Inverness.
