{{coord|57.480710|-4.226797|type:landmark_region:GB-HLD|format=dms|display=title}}Rose Street Foundry was an industrial facility established in Rose Street, Inverness in the 1830s. It was the property of the Inverness Iron Company[1] until 1872 when the Northern Agricultural Implement and Foundry Company Limited was established to take over the Inverness Iron Company.[2]

In 1881 this company was responsible for building the Greig Street Bridge, Inverness.

In 1885 a new premises were found at 18–21 Rose Street.[2] The architect – and Provost of Inverness – Alexander Ross – who had obtained ironwork from the foundry for various of the buildings he had built[4] – was engaged as the architect.[3]

Aside from making agricultural implements, the company also worked on contracts for the Highland Railway.[3]

There were two fires at foundry, the more seriously one being in 1888, with a second one in 1897.[4]

Foundry Offices

In 1903 the Rose Street Foundry and Engineering Company moved into their newly built Head Office, 96–104 Academy Street. In 2018 the Inverness Townscape Heritage Project (ITHP) announced a grant of £960,000 towards the costs of the full restoration of the building. The building was a Grade B listed property belonging to Cairngorm Taverns, who planned to turn it into a pub and restaurant. Jimmy Gray, chairman of Inverness City Heritage Trust, remarked that the building "is one of the most important buildings for local residents in Inverness. It is a popular heritage landmark for Inverness locals, many of whom have strong connections with it."[5]
