Former Highland Theological College Offered For Redevelopment

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has announced the sale of the former Highland Theological College campus in Dingwall.

The substantial property, situated on a prominent 0.60-acre corner plot at the eastern end of the High Street, is being marketed as a significant redevelopment prospect for a variety of potential uses.

Located approximately 15 miles north-west of Inverness, Dingwall serves as a key gateway to the Highlands and the popular NC500 tourist route. The town is also positioned near the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport, an area expected to generate over 11,000 jobs through its development as an international offshore renewable energy hub.

The sale features a significant Grade B listed stone building, originally constructed in the mid-1830s as a banking house. The property is arranged over four levels, including a basement and attic. At the rear, a modern glazed link with a lift and stairwell connects the historic structure to a large two-storey extension characterized by masonry construction and expansive glazed sections.

In addition to the primary buildings, the site includes:

• A separate 1½-storey stone-and-slate storage building.

• Rear car parking facilities accessed via Achany Road.

• Landscaped gardens and a paved main entrance.

• A current internal configuration featuring offices, classrooms, a library, and a conference room.

Neil Calder, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: "Currently configured in line with its college use comprising a range of classrooms, offices, meeting rooms, library facilities, a conference room as well as welfare and storage facilities, this substantial building on a prominent corner site, offers redevelopment potential for a range of uses, including residential, subject to planning.

"As such, we anticipate much interest in this redevelopment opportunity."

Offers in excess of £295,000 are being invited for the site. Interested parties are advised to contact the sole selling agent on 01463 712239 to discuss the opportunity.
