For those eagle-eyed visitors that have noticed a gap on the wall within our WWII display, this is where our Naval plan of Invergordon has disappeared to!

But don't worry, it will be back next week 😊

Well done to ARCH Highland for undertaking this project.

Meet Alan, Graham, and Charlie — the Caley Thistle–mad trio who never miss a match and never miss a chance to show off their colours.

These aren’t just ducks. These are ICT diehards. The kind of fans who’ve stood by Inverness Caledonian Thistle through League One battles, celebrated the climb back up, and now strut proudly into the Championship like they personally helped win the league. And honestly… with the energy they bring, who’s to say they didn’t.

Alan is the tactical genius — the duck who analyses every pass like he’s on the coaching staff.
Graham is the hype machine — scarf on, hat ready, quacking louder than the home crowd.
Charlie is the wildcard — the duck who believes every match is “our day” and refuses to accept anything less than glory.

Together, they’re a waddling, scarf‑swinging, football‑chanting force of nature.

They turn up early. They cheer until their voices (and beaks) give out. They celebrate every goal like it’s the winner at Hampden. And yes — they attend every match in full Caley Thistle style, hats, scarves, and unshakeable Highland pride.

If you’re collecting Duck Trail stars, these three are your dream front line. If you’re new to the Duck Trail, they’re the perfect introduction to the chaos and charm of duck fandom. And if you just love a bit of football‑themed Highland fun, Alan, Graham, and Charlie are ready to join your squad.

Come meet the trio, adopt them, and let them bring a roar of Championship‑level spirit to your shelf, your day, and your Duck Trail adventures.

🎀🏴 Meet Tartan Tara– the plaid proud, Highland hearted star of the Invergordon Duck Trail. Tartan Tara has officially swept onto the Duck Trail, and she’s already causing a delightful stir. This morning she stepped out from the Port of Cromarty Firth, bonnet perched just right, ruffled tartan shimmering with every wiggle, and a sparkle in her eye that says she’s ready to bring full Highland flair to every corner of town.

Tartan Tara doesn’t just explore… she celebrates.
Her first stop? Anywhere with a hint of tradition. She’s already been spotted admiring local tartan displays, pausing proudly beside heritage murals, and giving approving nods to anyone wearing even a whisper of plaid. She’s the kind of duck who would happily join a ceilidh, straighten her bonnet before every dance step, and hum a jaunty tune whenever she feels especially pleased with the local Highland spirit.

There’s a warm, festive charm about her — the kind of duck who brightens every doorstep she visits, twirls her ruffle when she’s excited, and brings a little sparkle to even the greyest day. She’s bold. She’s cheerful. She’s full of character. And yes - Tartan Tara is ready to be adopted today from Invergordon Museum.

If you’re collecting Duck Trail personalities, Tartan Tara is the one who says, “Plaid is always in fashion.” If you’re new to the trail, she’ll greet you with a proud little bonnet tilt and a friendly wiggle. And if you adore a duck with Highland charm, gentle mischief, and a heart full of tartan trimmed joy, she’ll win you over instantly.
Come meet Tartan Tara, take her home, and let her add a swirl of Scottish sparkle to your Duck Trail journey.

🦆💙 DUCK TRAIL - MURAL EDITION: “THE LONG GOODBYE” (2007) 💙🦆

The Invergordon Duck has now made his way to “The Long Goodbye”, painted by Tracey Shough in 2007, and this stop has him feeling a little more reflective than usual. This mural carries a quiet emotional weight - a moment of farewell, a story of people parting, and the sense of time moving on.

He perched gently near the scene, bow tie resting softly, taking in the colours and the tenderness woven through the artwork. For once, he didn’t try to join in or pose dramatically. Instead, he simply watched, head tilted, as if he understood the significance of goodbyes in a town full of history, journeys, and returning faces.

He’s declared this mural “a thoughtful pause” on his double‑trail adventure - a reminder that every community has moments of parting, but also moments of reunion, resilience, and new beginnings.

If you’re passing by, you might spot him sitting quietly, soaking up the atmosphere and offering a tiny, comforting quack to anyone who needs it.

Where will he wander next on his mural‑meets‑duck trail journey 🦆💛
