Drakies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drakies is a housing estate, formerly on the outskirts of Inverness, Scotland,[1][2] lying immediately south of the former Inverness-shire village of Culcabock. Both these areas are now suburbs of the city of Inverness, with Drakies sandwiched in by the Raigmore estate to the north, Inshes and the A9 to the east, Culduthel to the south and the Inverness Golf Club to the west.

Formerly farming land, Drakies was developed for private housing during the 1970s, and is also the location of the Police Headquarters of Northern Constabulary. It borders the Raigmore estate and Raigmore Hospital, and received a small expansion of 20 houses on the former Drakies House estate in 2025.
