Mckay grabbed his second after the half hour mark when he ran on to a long ball from Harry Hennem and fired past Martin Mackinnon.
Cameron Harper made it 4–0 60 seconds later when he connected with a cross from Scott Allardice on the right wing.
Robbie Thompson and Aaron Doran scored before half time to put them 6–0 up at the break.
Inverness were awarded a penalty two minutes into the second half which was converted by Austin Samuels.
Ethan Cairns made it eight when he pounced on a defensive mistake before firing into the net.
Steven Boyd made it nine after the referee allowed play to go on after Mackinnon fouled Samuels in the box and the ball fell kindly for the forward to shoot into the net.
Roddy MacGregor made it 10 with a close range effort with 13 minutes remaining in the game.
Inverness head to Brora Rangers for their second pre-season friendly on Saturday.
