The plaque on Harper's Cairn
The plaque on Harper's Cairn. It reads: "The original site of the cairn is reputed to have been in the garden of the adjacent schoolhouse. The Chlarsair, or harper, according to local legend, was slain by Iain Dubh Ghiuthais to prevent disclosure of the theft of millstones, of which he was unfortunate to be spectator."

Muir of Ord WW1

Muir of Ord WW1

The photos in this album are from the Ross-shire Journal during the 1914-1918 War. Newspaper copies had been deposited with Dingwall Museum but over the years had become rather fragile and were in danger of disintegrating and so it was felt that this valuable record should not be lost.
