lang="EN-US">Inverness City Centre lies on the east bank
of the river and is linked to the west side of the town by three road bridges –
Ness Bridge, Friars Bridge and the Black (or Waterloo) Bridge – and by one of
the town's suspension foot bridges, the Grieg Street Bridge. The traditional
city centre was a triangle bounded by High Street, Church Street and Academy
Street, within which Union Street and Queensgate are cross streets parallel to
High Street. Between Union Street and Queensgate is the Victorian Market, which
contains a large number of small shops. The main Inverness railway station is
almost directly opposite the Academy Street entrance to the Market. From the
1970s, the Eastgate Shopping Centre was developed to the east of High Street,
with a substantial extension being completed in 2003
