On Saturday, the South Loch Ness Heritage Group enjoyed a trip up North to visit Timespan Heritage Centre in Helmsdale and Brora Heritage Centre in the Old Clyne School building.
It was fascinating to discover how coal mining historically supported other major industries in the area, such as whisky distilling, salt production and weaving.
The weather was lovely and we even treated ourselves to some of Sutherland’s best fish & chips!
We have come back with lots of knowledge and new ideas, to hopefully be able to create something similar in Stratherrick.
We would like to thank Stratherrick and Foyers Community Trust for making this trip possible with the provision of the community minibus, and for our lovely drivers Steve & Gail!
