Leading Inverness-based estate agency and one of Scotland's top law firms

We operate one of the leading estate agency services in Inverness and the Highlands and Islands, while as one of Scotland's leading law firms, Harper Macleod advises businesses, organisations and individuals on all of their legal needs in Scotland, the UK and beyond.

We have specialist lawyers in all legal disciplines, covering every service you are likely to need in both your business and personal life. Allied to this, our in-depth industry knowledge allows us to add value to you whatever sector you operate in.

Our roots

With a home in Gairloch and strong links to the Highlands and Islands, it was no surprise when Chairman and founding Partner Lorne Crerar led the move for Harper Macleod to open an Inverness office in 2004. Since then, we have grown to have the largest legal team in the Highlands and Islands, and the biggest Scottish law firm with a permanent presence in region.

In 2012 we opened an office in Thurso and in 2015 moved into Shetland by joining forces with one of the isles' biggest firms, Dowle, Smith & Rutherford. In 2016 we doubled the size of our Inverness office, and added the firm of Allen & Shaw to our ranks in the city, giving us a team of almost 30 people in the Inverness office alone. By September 2019 we had extended our physical footprint into Moray, taking over local firm Wink & Mackenzie to cement our position as the leading law firm in the area.

Our team on the ground provides a full range of legal services to our clients in Inverness and the rest of the Highlands and Islands.

  • Myself and my wife, Marion, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Harper Macleod for their professional and timely patience in what was a complicated house sale, which spanned approximately one year. Thanks especially to Susan and Lia.

  • I can confirm I was happy with the estate agency service provided for the sale of my property and was more than happy to recommend the service to others.

  • I was supported through the property selling and buying process by Laura Archibald of Harper Macleod. From day one, I was impressed by her attention to detail, vast knowledge, and conscientiousness. She provided solid, professional, and friendly advice routinely and responded to calls and emails to answer every query I had, at any time. There were obstacles throughout the process, but Laura overcame them with ease, giving me complete confidence that the sale and purchase would take place on the scheduled date seamlessly. All matters took place as planned, alleviating all my concerns and making the entire process a relatively stress-free one. If you are buying or selling, I would recommend Harper Macleod and be sure to ask for Laura Archibald, who is first class.
