Book Library

While building this site we have accumulated a lot of information that we felt was best gathered together in different books.  We hope you will enjoy reading them.

Photograph Library

Over the years we have been very fortunate to have been given access to many historic photographs and permission to display them on the website.  We have now collated them into different albums.  We hope you enjoy viewing in them.

Letter from Cadboll Estate re lack of water supply
Letter from Cadboll Estate re lack of water supply
An extract from a letter giving Cadboll Estates reply. Below a translation. 12th January, 1911 'Dear Sir, Referring to our conversation at Inver on Tuesday, I quite sympathize with the lack of a water supply but I can only agree to repair the pump and put it in working order on condition that a certain number of the Inhabitants - not less than six - bind themselves protect the pump from damage in future, and as a practical guarantee deposit a sum of Three pounds with me to meet the cost of any further damage.'

Inver WW1

Inver 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.
