Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness

Eastgate Shopping Centre is located in Inverness, serving the largest shopping catchment area in the United Kingdom.

The Eastgate shopping centre in Inverness has been taken over by UK-owned real estate company, Savills plc. popular amongst locals and tourists alike.

In the old part of the building there is a clock depicting Noah’s Ark. Each hour a monkey is seen raising up a tree and chiming a bell in order to tell the hour. On each hour the clock diorama also plays an animal themed song and a single set of doors open to show pictures of the animal associated with the song. At midday each day a longer display takes place where all of the tunes are played, all the windows are opened and the rest of the diorama also operates. It is still common to see crowds watching the clock for the extended 12 o'clock performance.

As of April 2021, stores include Boots, Superdry, Fat Face, H&M, HMV, New Look, Next and Waterstones. Throughout the centre, there are food options such as Subway, Burger King, Costa Coffee, Starbucks, and Pizza Express. Plans are underway to expand the food court, and open it up to keep up with modern food court trends.

The Eastgate Centre is notable for an automation clock, which depicts Noah's Ark. This clock is popular among tourists and locals. The clock is one of only six of its kind in the UK.

The food court in Falcon Mall is home to The Falcon's Return, a statue depicting James IV of Scotland holding a falcon, as James IV was one of Scotland's celebrated Falconers. The statue also celebrates the name of the Falcon Ironworks that originally stood on the site of the Eastgate expansion, which gave its name to Falcon Square. The sculpture was created by local artist Leonie Gibbs. The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, was present at the unveiling ceremony, and she and Gibbs are cousins.
