Councillors to view proposed brewery site in Inverness

The brewery and visitor attraction has been proposed for a riverside site in Inverness

Highland councillors are to visit the site of a proposed new brewery and visitor attraction in Inverness before making a decision on the plans.

If given planning permission, the premises would be constructed on land between 8 and 10 Ness Bank on the banks of the River Ness.

The project, which could create 12 jobs, has been proposed by Jon and Victoria Erasmus.

The couple own the Glen Mhor Hotel and Apartments at Ness Bank.

They said a German brewing plant and Scottish ingredients would be used to produce new Highland beers.

The visitor attraction would include a shop and an art gallery.
