Reputedly there was a battle in the early 11th century between Malcolm III and Thorfinn the Mighty at Blar Nam Feinne, to the southwest of the city.

The first tolbooth in the town, referred to as the "Steeple of Inverness" dated back to at least 1593. After a new stone bridge was built across the River Ness in 1685, prison cells were accommodated in the spandrels of the bridge and offices for civic officials were accommodated in the East Gatehouse to the bridge, leaving the old tolbooth underutilised.
