When I was in Inverness last September (2009), I looked at the microfiches of the "Inverness Courier" and found my GGM's death reported (1920) at the Farraline Park Library.

There is now a new Highland Archives Centre in Inverness at the Bught Park, so the Courier microfiches may have been moved there. The other local paper is the "Press and Journal"

If you have no luck with any of the above then I don't mind taking a look next time I'm in Inverness Library. Send me a message if it turns out that that would be helpful.
