The Inverness Townscape Heritage project was a grant-giving scheme that helped regenerate areas of social or economic need in the city. Academy Street, an integral part of the historic Old Town which originally formed a defensive edge of Inverness and later became the industrial area for the centre, was the focus of one of the projects. The Townscape Heritage Project aimed to increase understanding of the heritage of the street. Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and AOC Archaeology worked with local groups to create content for a digital resource charting the history and development of the area.
