invernessian

A native or inhabitant of Inverness, United Kingdom.

Of, from or relating to Inverness, United Kingdom.

A sight not readily to be forgotten was that of about 30,000 troops assembled round Bloemfontein. Among them was the Highland Brigade, some 4,000 strong, under the command of General Hector Macdonald, of Invernessian origin.

Once inside the double doors he stood, his eyes sweeping over the familiar curving staircase and the long room filled with gilded chairs and little round tables, at each of which sat a group of Invernessian matrons taking their morning coffee and gossip.
