THE £23 million Inverness Justice Centre will open its doors for the first time in late March, it has been confirmed.
The centre, which will serve as a replacement base for the city’s courts, will open on March 30.
The move will free up Inverness Castle – the existing base for the courts – for future use as a tourist attraction.
“[Construction] is progressing well and we are now preparing to relocate the courts from their historic home,” said the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service’s chief executive, Eric McQueen.
“The centre will represent the changing face of justice by including facilities and technology to remove the need for children to appear in person at court, and to support the development of digital case management for summary crime in the future.”
