Life, Landscapes & Lairds
If all life is art, then therell be lots of it on show at the NESSCON Comic Con event at
EDEN COURT on 08 & 09 JUL where were expecting plenty of folk dressing up as their
favourite characters as they partake in the weekends celebration of comics, anime,
gadgets, games and more. They might even take time to check out some of the more
conventional art at the venue in the form of DIERDRE MCCRIMMONs PRESENCE and LEE
BISSETTs SCOTCH MIST. The former is a series of large scale ink drawings addressing
the concept of meditative stillness, while the latter is an impressive interpretation of
Highland landscapes from the mountains to the coast.

Over at GRANTOWN MUSEUM, theres an exhibition featuring the work of 18th century
artist Richard Waitt opening on 21 JUL and running until 31 OCT, entitled I, RICHARD
WAITT, PICTURE DRAWER: PORTAITS OF A HIGHLAND CLAN (1713 -1733) [1]. Waitt
was employed in 1713 by the Chief of Clan Grant to paint his family and retinue and over
twenty years he came up with what is recognised as the biggest ever single commission
of family portraits in 18th century Europe. The portraits include not only the Laird and his
family, but also servants, bards and ministers, providing a unique snapshot of life 300
years ago. The portraits have been hanging in Scotlands most prestigious galleries and
properties, but are now being brought home to Grantown for the first time. Worth a trip to
see such a culturally and artistically significent collection.

VERNON JONES & MARGARET
GARDINER, 01 July to 30 Sep,
VERNON JONES is from South
Wales and divides his time
between Wales and Macedonia.
He studied Design and Wildlife
Illustration from 1992 to 1994
but is largely self-taught as a
painter in oils and acrylics. The
sea, in all its moods, is his
chosen subject.
MARGARET GARDINER trained
as a potter in the 1970s and
has sold her pots in Liberty,
London and Maceys in New York.
She works almost exclusively
in porcelain, making thrown
bowls, dishes, jugs and drinking
vessels which are decorated
with slips and finally fired in a
kiln with a cocktail of salt, soda
and stannous chloride creating a
random, lustrous iridescence.

Waitts portraits of the people of
Castle Grant hang in Scotlands
most prestigious national

collection home to Grantown for
the first time. Museum Manager
Daniel Cottam said: Needless
to say we are pretty excited
here at the Museum to be able
to show you what will be the
first ever public exhibition solely
dedicated to Richard Waitt.
Waitt was employed in 1713 by
the Chief of Clan Grant to paint
his family and retinue. Twenty

commission of family portraits
in 18th century Europe. (Image

 Long Live Cinema
Well, its now officially summer, and you know what that means: schools out, the sun is
shining, and the film pundits are bemoaning the death of cinema. It now appears to be
a yearly tradition for the film press to spend the summer months bemoaning the glut of
blockbusters and calling time of death on cinema as an artform. To us, however, this reflects
a certain laziness, an unwillingness to go and seek all that film has to offerand those who
go seeking this summer will find themselves richly rewarded indeed
Of course, if it is blockbusters you want, there are plenty of those, too. Wherever you see
the word blockbuster these days, the word Marvel wont be too far behind, and indeed
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING [2] (05 JUL Vue; 28 JUL EC) looks set to be amongst the
months biggest hits. A solo outing for TOM HOLLANDs incarnation of the wall-crawler, who of
course debuted in last years Capt America 3, this looks like it may struggle to differentiate
itself from previous big-screen variations on the character, but an impressive supporting
castMICHAEL KEATON, TONY REVOLORI, DONALD GLOVER, The Nice Guys ANGOURIE
RICE and Better Call Sauls MICHAEL MANDOcoupled with Hollands established chemistry
with MARISA TOMEI and ROBERT DOWNEY JR should make it a worthwhile watch. Also likely
to score big is WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES [3] (11 JUL Vue), the third instalment
in the Planet of the Apes prequel series that somehow, against all odds, have turned out to
be among the most interesting blockbusters of recent years, and hopefully returning director
MATT REEVES filmwhich adds WOODY HARRELSON to the mixwill keep up that quality.
But we think the most exciting of Julys would-be tent-poles is DUNKIRK [1] (21 JUL Vue &
EC), CHRISTOPHER NOLANs account of the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops from the titular
beaches. Sure to be a staggeringly ambitious effortcould this be Nolans Schindlers List?
Well soon find out, but either way this is set to be one of the most fascinating offerings of
the summer. Whether youre there for Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Harry Styles
or Nolan himself, it is sure to be worthwhile.
If none of those take your fancy, then Eden Court offer the chance to catch up with the uplifting
delights of the justly acclaimed and record-breaking WONDER WOMAN [4] (30 JUN), the
slightly-better-than-the-last-one-ness of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: SALAZARS REVENGE
(14 JUL), and the alleged shambles that is TOM CRUISEs THE MUMMY (07 JUL)
It being the school holidays, there are naturally a few offerings for kids and families, and once
again, its Pixar who bring us the biggest family release of the season, with, uh, CARS 3 [5]
(14 JUL Vue). Yes, the Pixar Films We Dont Talk About get a third instalment, one which
seems to be going the dark sequel route to boot: a surprise step forward for the franchise
or another unwelcome black mark on Pixars record? Still, if it pays for more of the likes of
Inside Out, itll all be worth it. Dreamworks, meanwhile, offer us CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE
FIRST EPIC MOVIE [6] (28 JUL Vue), an adaptation of Dave Pilkeys long-running childrens
book series. Your likely enjoyment of it can be gauged by how you feel about seeing a film
called Captain Underpants in the first place. The most exciting family feature of the month
however, is THE RED TURTLE [7] (0104 JUL EC), the latest gem from the house of wonders
that is Studio Ghibli. Directed by MICHAEL DUDOK DE WIT, its the dialogue-free, gorgeously
animated tale of a ship-wrecked man who meets the eponymous testudine. Promises to be a
magical, one-of-a-kind experience.
However, the most potentially fascinating releases of the month come from the foreign and
art-house circuit. THE BEGUILED [8] (14 JUL Vue, 28 JUL EC) made SOFIA COPPOLA the first
woman to take Best Director at Cannes in over half a century, and the well-castNICOLE
KIDMAN, KIRSTEN DUNST, ELLE FANNING, COLIN FARRELLDeep South feminist period
drama looks set to be another rich, engrossing entry from the filmmaker. Theres a double-
11
 bill of films set in the German capital, namely Somersault director CATE SHORTLANDs dark
psychological thriller BERLIN SYNDROME [9] (14 JUL EC) and WWII resistance study ALONE
IN BERLIN [10] (21 JUL EC). FRANCOIS OZON looks at the previous World War in the low-key,
intimate FRANTZ [11] (07 JUL EC), while fellow French national treasure ISABELLE HUPPERT is
a faded Eurovision star in SOUVENIR (21 JUL EC). The brilliant HIROZAKU KOREEDA offers us
another study of the nuances of everyday life with AFTER THE STORM [12] (30 JUL EC), while
anime IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD [13] (2830 JUL EC) delves into wartime Japanand
gives some long-overdue cinematic attention to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So, thats new NOLAN, GHIBLI, COPPOLA, OZON, and KOREEDA within a month. From where
were sitting, cinema looks pretty darned alive

Other releases: If its a laugh you want, then try rom-com GIRLS TRIP (26 JUL Vue), with REGINA HALL,
QUEEN LATIFAH and JADA PINKETT SMITH, or catch ROGER ALLAM in THE HIPPOPOTAMUS (01 JUL EC)
centred on a lecherous disgraced-poet-turned-critic summoned to investigate a series of miracles, or slow-
burning Swedish dramedy A MAN CALLED OVE (21 JUL EC) which finally arrive in town, as does live action
version of anime classic GHOST IN THE SHELL (01 JUL EC) with SCARLETT JOHANSSON.
Brit-flick Trio: Brian Cox is CHURCHILL (30 JUN EC), DIANE KEATON and BRENDAN GLEESON star
in quaint tale HAMPSTEAD (0713 JUL EC), while PETER MULLAN leads a true story of, uhh, golf, in
TOMMYS HONOUR (0713 JUL EC).

 KIDS
Modern Classics
EDEN COURT are making quite a habit of bringing you impressive theatrical
adaptations of classic kids yarns and the latest comes in the form of WERE
GOING ON A BEAR HUNT [1] from 2729 JUL. Direct from a smash-hit West End
and international tour, Michael Rosens award-winning book is brought vividly and
noisily to the stage in director Sally Cooksons fun-filled adaptation set to Benji
Bowers versatile lively score. Its a strange old tale hovering somewhere between
the real world and dreams, held together, like that other modern classic, The
Gruffalo, by a repetitive mantra that proves so alluring for youngsters. So youll
join the intrepid adventurers on their quest to find a bear as they wade through
the gigantic swishy swashy grass, the splishy splashy river and the thick oozy,
squelchy mud. Expect catchy songs, interactive scenes and plenty of hands-on
adventure.

David Walliams is establishing himself as this generations Roald Dahl and while
his comedic persona is trying at the best of times, theres no doubting his skill as
a writer. One of his many successes, BILLIONAIRE BOY [2], is coming to BRODIE
CASTLE on 12 JUL. The titular hero, Joe has a lot of reasons to be happy. About
a billion of them, in fact. You see, Joes rich. Really, really rich. Joes got his own
bowling alley, his own cinema, even his own butler who is also an orangutan. Hes
the wealthiest twelve-year-old in the land. Yes, Joe has absolutely everything he
could possibly want. But theres just one thing he really needs: a friend
This is an outdoor performance, but were assured that only the worst of weather
conditions will stop it going ahead. Just book in advance and remember to bring
your own seating.

The start of summer having been officially announced in true Highlands manner with
days of torrential rain, were hoping that all the water in the sky has been used up
ahead of a plethora of outdoor events. Were still a month away from BELLADRUM,
which starts on 03 AUG and which youll be able to read all about in next months
issue, but if youre after the feel of grass beneath your feet while you take in your
musical fancies, there are plenty of opportunities.

First off, on 01 JUL its the latest edition of OUTDORES, the clubbing shindig on
the shores of Loch Ness at Dores Inn. This time round, Glasgows DENIS SULTA
[2] is headlining and also on the line up will be SPARKY (Live) DEBUKAS B2B ALLY
RIDGERS, MARK MACKENZIE, ALOTTARHYTHMMAN and SUBALPINE.

Hardened clubbers are spoilt for choice that day, as 01 JUL also sees dance legends
LEFTFIELD [1] at IRONWORKS, while just a week later, on 08 JUL, IRONWORKS is
again the place to be for hip-hop pioneers THE SUGARHILL GANG [9] wholl be bringing
the spirit of The Get Down to proceedings and demonstrating a style that might seem a
tad showbizzy these days, but which underpins everything thats followed.

Back outside its the latest series of gigs in BUGHT PARK, following on from UB40s
visit a couple of months back. This time you can catch BRYAN ADAMS [4] on 16 JUL
and OLLY MURS [5] on 22 JUL, both of whom will be inducing fizzy feelings in fans of
various ages. And therell be more hits than you can shake a stick at.

As is invariably the case, folk fans are well catered for, with a heads up now for the
always entertaining PHILNALY [6] at BOGBAIN FARM on 02 AUG, but prior to that
theres a trio of shows at EDEN COURT well worth your attention. First, on 05 JUL, its
fiddle/piano duo CHARLIE GREY & JOSEPH PEACH [8] whove been enjoying great
success including being album finalists in the 2017 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award.
For this show theyre joined by two special guests, Ryan Young on fiddle and Owen
Sinclair on guitar and vocals.

On 09 JUL its the turn of MARY DUFF [3], the Irish singer who, having just toured
with Dominic Kirwin, is playing Inverness as part of a worldwide jaunt that takes in
everywhere from America to New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Then, on 30 JUL its EDUARDO
NIEBLA [7], the virtuoso Spanish guitarist who makes music that transcends genres
and crosses barriers , brilliant flamenco jazz fused with Eastern influences. His last visit
to Eden Court was rather special, so dont miss out this time round.

As if there wasnt enough musical goodness to slay a rabid

steer already, BELLADRUM TARTAN HEART FESTIVAL (see
next issue for more) recently announced a new Country &
Western Music stageTRAILER TRASHfor next months
event, featuring acts like Raintown, The Dolly Parton Story,

INVERNESS HIGHLAND GAMES
Bught Park, Inverness
Saturday July 15th
The flagship event of any Inverness Summer
Festivals programme, if of course the Inverness
Highland Games, and as we approach the bi-
centenary of the first Highland Games staged on
the banks of the River Ness in 1822; its pleasing
to note that the Inverness Highland Games
is famous for being one of the biggest and
most enjoyable Community Gatherings staged
anywhere in Scotland. We asked the Highland
Councils Events Manager Gerry Reynolds to
preview this years show which is one of three
major events scheduled for Bught Park over the
weekend of July 15th and 16th.
Well the first thing that everybody is going to
notice is that weve had to redesign the site (in
order to accommodate the arena that is being
constructed for the BRYAN ADAMS and OLLY
MURS concerts) and the funfair has been moved
to the city end of the field; next to the Zip Slide
that is going to give everybody the chance to
dangle across the River Ness. Obviously, True
Scots are going to have to make temporary
arrangements if they intend going on the Zip
Slideor the Trampolines that are coming!
As usual our Games will feature a full
programme of track and field athletics, with
the Inverness Harriers once again expected to
provide some first class competition for everyone
to enjoy; and this year we are working with
Inverness Culloden Rotary Club to introduce
wheelbarrow racing. We are delighted to
welcome back the Inverness RBL and City
of Inverness Pipe Bands; and the Inverness
Piping Society will ensure that our Solo Piping
Competitions are once again amongst the
most keenly contested youll find in the North of
Scotland.
Our wonderful Highland dancers will again
take centre stage at our Opening Ceremony
which will feature one or two surprisesand
our much loved Mass Highland Fling which
really does have to be seen to be believed. It is
always a pleasure to see just how delighted our
spectators are when they realise that they can
take part; and take some unforgettable selfies
to show their friends just how much fun they
would be having if only they were here.
After we clear the field the Heavies
programme will commence with the Hammer
Throwing at 12.30pm and will climax with the
ever popular Tossing The Caber at around
5pm. The event will end with competitors
stepping forward to attempt the 252lb
Stonemasons Stoneone of the most
difficult challenges facing Heavies anywhere on
the International circuit.
Throughout the day spectators will be able
to explore a number of interesting exhibitions
around the site including our Clan Village
organised by the Association of Highland Clans
& Societies and our Arts & Craft Village
organised by Exclusively Highlands. There will be
16 groups in the Clan Village and 44 exhibitors
in the Arts & Crafts Village; as well as many more
trade and charity stalls in the Traders Village
outside.
 <<< I G, B P
We are delighted with the number of
community groups that are joining us for the
first time this year; in order to raise funds for
some really worthy causes. One of the new
events that we are hoping will become a
regular feature of our Games is the Tartan
Trek fundraising walk which is raising funds
for Mikeysline. We are hearing that some of
their costumes might just be on the loud side of
spectacular!
Tickets for the 2017 Inverness Common
Good Fund sponsored Inverness Highland
Games cost 5 for adults and 3 for
Concessions and Seniors. Under 5s are
admitted free.
INVERNESS GALA
Bught Park, Inverness
Saturday July 16th
This years Inverness Gala is expected to be
the busiest yet as thousands of those heading
for Sunday nights BRYAN ADAMS concert are
expected to arrive early and join in the fun.
The Gala will also have an International
Flavour with a Community Clan Gathering
taking centre stage. The idea behind the
Community Clan Gathering is to replace each
of the Scottish Clan Families that you will
find at the Inverness Highland Games the
previous day with members of the diverse
overseas families that now call Inverness their
home. The idea of inviting everybody to come
together on Gala Day was inspired by the
successful recent gathering organised by our
citys Polish community; and the initiative has
been warmly welcomed by members of our
citys Pakistani, Indian, Chinese, Bangladeshi
communities to name but a few.
The FREE Gala will feature Shinty Sixes in
Bught Stadium from 10am; and the Exclusively
Highlands Craft Marquee, Traders Village
and Fun Fair will open at 11am.
At noon visitors will be encouraged to take
part in Have a Go Touch Rugby Sevens,
Highland Games, Highland Dancing and
Shinty in the Showfield. The Have a Go
Sessions have been designed to suit spectators
of all ages and the plan is to give everybody
the opportunity to get active and take some
amazing pictures of themselves for social media.
The afternoon will end with another large
crowd expected to gather to watch the
Highlands Strongest Man & Strongest
Woman Competitions which commence
in Bught Stadium at 3pm. Organiser Gavin
Laird of the Forge Gym has introduced a
Keg Over the Bar Competition into this
years programme of strength challenges;
which will also feature the 50 metre Giant
Wheelbarrow speed event, 60 second Axle
Press and the 260kg Conans Wheel challenge
in which competitors will have 1 minute to
complete as many circles as possible. The
Strongman show will end with the Keg Over
The Bar event and the Atlas Stone.
Admission is FREE.

Out.
Big event of the month is the INVERNESS HIGHLAND GAMES & GALA [1], taking
place in Bught Park over the weekend of 15 & 16 JUL. Theres more about the
CHURCHILL
Highland Games on our sports pages, but the GALA DAY on SUN 16 promises to be
pretty spectacular. Over 10,000 folk will be heading to Bught Park on the same day to
see the Bryan Adams concert so the city Ishould be packed, bringing back memories
of just what an integral part
I
ofI Inverness
I
life the gala used to be. Proceedings open
with the Inverness SHINTY SIXES in Bught Stadium from 11am with the HIGHLANDS
STRONGEST MAN & STRONGEST WOMEN events taking centre stage from 3pm. If
you are feeling courageous you can take part in the ZIP SLIDE over the River Ness;
or you can explore the GIANT CRAFT FAIR or HIGHLAND GAMES TRADERS VILLAGE.
Admission is free and everybody is welcome.

I
Were also pretty excited about NESSCON [2], the newest Comic Con in Scotland,
I I I
which will be taking place at EDEN COURT on 08 & 09 JUL, bringing movies,
gaming, comics, anime, television, gadgets, clothing and toys to the city. Plus, we
fully expect, loads of people dressed up in homage to their favourite characters.
Weve already noticed smatterings of folk strolling the streets of a weekend in fancy
TOMMYS HONOUR
outfits, so were fully expecting some spectacular flamboyance from attendees.

Rather more traditional though no lessI enjoyable is the NAIRN SHOW at KINNUDIE
I I I
FARM, AULDEARN on 29 JUL with livestock on show as well as everything from a
food fair to pipers, showjumping and even a circus workshop. Its a reminder of
the importance of the rural community, something thats further emphasised on
02 & 03 AUG at the BLACK ISLE SHOW, which you can read more about in next
months issue.

Let The Games Begin!

FILM
Its that time of the year again when folk up here get an irresistable urge to demonstrate
their prowess at everything from hurling timber to dancing in perfect synchronisation,
when regional identity meets sporting spectacle and traditions from days gone by are
passed on to future generations. Yep, its Highland Games Season. And while the
gatherings are perhaps not as integral a part of local communities as in days gone by,
theyre still crowd pullers for locals and tourists alike.
There are plenty of Games going on this month (including in TAIN and FORRES on 08
JUL, then in TOMINTOUL on 15 JUL), but the daddy of them all is the INVERNESS
HIGHLAND GAMES [1] in BUGHT PARK on 15 JUL. Its part of the Inverness Gala these
days (which you can read more about on P29), but has a rich history stretching back
to 1822 and still attracts competitiors from all over to participate in a host of athletics
events and, of course, demonstrations of strength and dexterity such as tossing the
caber and lifting eye-bogglingly heavy stones. And when you see the heavies in action
it makes superhero movies look like a church picnic. Tickets cost 5 for adults and 3
for Seniors and Under 18s, with all Under 5s admitted free. You can buy them on the
Fri evening (6pm-8pm) from Inverness Town House or on the gate at Bught Park on the
day. Doors open at 10.30am.

One other big sporting event taking place is slightly out of the area, but worth a mention
is the SCOTTISH 6 DAYS ORIENTEERING at ROYAL DEESIDE from 30 JUL-04 AUG. A
biennnial event taking place in different areas of Scotland each time, thisll see over
3500 competitiors navigating their way around the spectacular terrain.

 Big Guns
Plenty of theatrical spectaculars coming up, the biggest of them being right at the
end of the month, SISTER ACT [1] at EDEN COURT from 31 JUL04 AUG. Directed
and choreographed by Strictlys Craig Revel Horwood, its based on the movie starring
Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith and features X Factor winner ALEXANDRA BURKE
as the habit-clad whirlwind at the heart of an all singing, all dancing affair. From what
weve seen and heard, this should be rather wonderful.

As should another lauded adaptation, THE RAILWAY CHILDREN [2] at EDEN COURT
from 1116 JUL. For some of us the original book and ensuing movie is the standard
setter, but recent stage adaptations have shown just how enduringly wonderful the
tale of childhood and parental longing can be. This version by David Simpson promises
an uplifting theatrical experience for all ages, packed with intrigue, adventure, joy and
jubilation. Which sounds just fine, even without Jenny Agutter, Bernard Cribbins and
Lionel Jeffries.

A forthcoming fresh film version of Murder On The Orient Express should renew interest
in Agatha Christie, so its timely that her A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED [3] is coming to
EDEN COURT from 1722 JUL. This version, from Middle Ground Theatre Company has
the delightful one-time Doctor Who assistant, LOUISE JAMESON, playing Miss Marple,
which makes us feel very old indeed. Cara Chase is taking that role on 19 & 20 and
theres a strong supporting cast featuring many faces familiar from TV. And, of course,
its a heck of a good yarn.

Shakespeares King Lear is an even finer tale and Bard In The Botanics are giving it a
neat twistQUEEN LEAR [4]at CAWDOR CASTLE on 30 JUL. As the name suggests,
Jennifer Dicks adaptation looks at proceedings from the perspective not of a king, but
a great queen. Its performed outdoors, so bring a rug/seat/brolly.

Theres always good comedy up here these days and this month is no exception. While
PHILL JUPITUS [5] and RUSSELL KANE [6] arent necessarily our personal favourites,
its good to see them putting in the hard yards and coming to the Highlands. Kane
is at EDEN COURT on 26 Jul, while PJs Juplicity tour takes in Craigmonie Centre,
Strathpeffer Pavillion and Universal Hall, Findhorn. See listings for dates. A word too for
another rising comedy star, STUART MITCHELL [7], whose show at EDEN COURT on
13 JUL manages to bring humour to a desperately tragic back story.

Also recommended this month are a couple of classical musicals in the form of
PATIENCE at EDEN COURT on 22 JUL and THE PEARL FISHERS at STRATHPEFFER
PAVILION on 26 JUL. The former, from Skye & Lochalsh based Inner Sound is a Gilbert
& Sullivan operetta poking fun at the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century in
England, while the latter finds the always excellent Opera Bohemia taking on Bizets
masterpiece set in Ceylon.

Riva
46 Ness Walk, Inverness 01463 237 377
These days Inverness has a thriving
restaurant scene that, while not the
equal of those distant conurbations
down the road, certainly holds its
own among cities of similar size.
And its vastly improved over the
last decade. In that time many
enterprises have come and gone,
launched in a frenzy of wide-eyed
optimism, but inevitably scuppered
by a gob-smacking lack of business
sense and inability to grasp even
the basic tenets of what makes a
restaurant successful.
Riva has had no such problems,
which explains why, having been
set up back in the noughties, its
still going strong. Ownership has
recently changed, with it now in the
hands of the same people behind
the estimable Scotch & Rye and
Bar One, but while the S&R in
particular may be the most notably
contemporary joint in town, theyve
ensured that Riva continues to
focus on what its always done
best, that being providing top-notch,
locally sourced ingredients for an
Italian-inspired menu served in
elegant, yet informal surroundings.
Sounds straightforward, but youd
be surprised at how many other
places dont have such clarity of
vision, hence why they fall by the
wayside while Riva continues to set
the standards.
A significant element of Rivas
success has to be its location and
design. Upstairs theyve got their own
pizza place which is always worth
a visit, but the restaurant itself is
downstairs in a space that manages
to be both classy and informal, a
massive, spotless window at the
front providing a perfect picture
postcard view of the river and castle.
Actually its technically only a
picture postcard view if you
rather like your vistas dominated
by a concrete eyesore that had
even acclaimed travel author Bill
Bryson declaiming in his book of
wanderings around Britain as quite
the ugliest building hed seen in his
life. The Highland Council may have
seen sense in finally acknowledging
the potential of the castle as a
tourist attraction, the lookout tower
regularly packed with visitors, but
if they have even a smidgeon of
aesthetic sense in their souls,
surely theyll find a way to disguise
the adjoining concrete boxes, or
better still, take a wrecking ball to
the whole lot.
Still, that blot on the scenery
apart, the rest of the view is
most handsome indeed and Riva
provides the perfect spot to see the
bustle of a city now that the tourist
season is in full flow. And, judging
by social media, its here that many
of those tourists come to eat, so
were lucky to find it relatively quiet
on the day we visit.
Right from the start the service
is immaculate and, as drinks are
served, we investigate a most
alluring menu. Two in fact as while
my pal selects from the lunchtime
set menu, I get to choose from the
la carte. While set lunches
39
are often a way of hawking the
most basic of options, thats

 most definitely not the case here,
as proved by my companions
starter of Halloumi and
Pomegranate Salad. That most
sturdy of cheeses always heats
well without losing its structure
and served as it is here, lightly
breadcrumbed, it works beautifully
against the fruity sweetness of the
pomegranate, olive oil crostini and
a parmesan and anchovy dressing
bringing it all together.
My starter of Seafood Antipasto
takes full advantage of the great
seafood we have on our doorstep,
consisting of lemon-marinated
North Atlantic baby prawns, local
beetroot cured salmon, homemade
smoked mackerel pt, chilli mango
salsa and Nairn oatcakes, plus an
artistically arranged selection of
leaves. Served on a black slate, it
looks almost as good as it tastes.
Worth a visit for this dish alone.
My pals main of Tagliatelli
Arabiatta is inevitably tricky to
make look spectacular, but its
presented in a dish that while
making the portion seem small,
actually conceals hidden depths,
both in appearance and flavour. An
unashamedly spicy tomato sauce
and top quality buffalo mozzarella
prove just how good the simplest of
pasta dishes can be.
My main is Whole Sea Bass
and again the slate is out for
presentation. It certainly looks
spectacular, the grilled fish laying
atop sauted potatoes and under a
blanket of samphire, but while the
fish itself is magnificent, perfectly
cooked with a lovely crispy skin
and infused with a stuffing of
locally picked herbs, the samphire
itself is a bit stalky, making its
woody tips almost as much of
an encumberance when eating
as the (unavoidable, of course)
bones in the bass. The potatoes
are merely swathed in butter,
rather than given any texture from
sauteing and a flat slate isnt
perhaps the best way to serve
42 the dish, since its impossible to
mop up any juices, or indeed set
about the fish without your cutlery
sounding a resonant approximation
of nails on a blackboard. A slight
disappointment, but something
that with a few tweaks could be
genuinely showstopping.
No disappointment with the
puddings though. My buddy has
a splendid Crme Brle, the
beautifully caramelised lid topping
a lovely vanilla bean filling, with
home made shortbread on the
side. Another classic dish, executed
perfectly.
The merest nod to the hipster
ethos from Scotch & Rye across
town comes in the presentation
of my Tiramisu, which is served
in a little Kilner Jar. Theres a nice
layered thing going on with Amaretto
flavoured mascapone cream and
amaretti biscuit, though no sign
of the promised bitter chocolate
dusting. An accompanying cherry
compte is sublime though,
perfectly offsetting the sweetness
of the jars contents.
Its easy to think of a place like
Riva as just somewhere for
special occasions, but the set
lunch at 11.95 for two courses
is remarkable value and theres a
warm, welcoming atmosphere to
the place. Plus that one-strategic-
demolition-away-from-perfect
view. Restaurants will come and
restaurants will go, but its a pretty
safe bet that Riva will be around
for a long time yet. And thats
something worth celebrating.

HSPCs North Coast 500

So what is NC500?The North Coast 500 is a
route across the North of Scotland covering some
of Scotlands finest coastal scenery and its being
called Scotlands answer to Route 66. The appeal
of the route is obvious and in recent months the
North has had many visitors driving round this
beautiful area. HSPC has experienced an increase
in enquiries from people who live outside the area
and having driven the NC500 have fallen for the
North. To help showcase properties that are For
Sale near the NC500 we have created a search
page on our websiteunder Buy, Properties
for Sale, so if you have driven the route and
are tempted by this part of the world or are just
curiousthis is a great place to start.

The route starts in the northern city of Inverness,

weaves along the west coast to Applecross and
then northwards towards the bustling village of
