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.

Cutting about the Dods Family who were on the Natal
The narrative reads: "On December 30, the result of an accident, John Henry Dods, Dalgheal, Evanton, son of the late Principal Marcus Dods, DD, his wife Annie Farrer, and their children Dorothy Elizabeth, Marcus Palliser and John Frederick. The portraits were taken a few years ago." Secrecy in wartime required no mention of the loss of the Natal. [Cutting, now in Invergordon Museum, courtesy of Mhairi Mackenzie.]

At low tide, in later years, only part of the hull was visible, and this navigation hazard was removed in the 1970s, leaving only a marker buoy. Prior to that time most of the wreck was slowly salvaged.

Invergordon WW1

Invergordon 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.

The war memorial photographs on this site were originally the work of Mr John W Bruce. He has subsequently developed the website http://www.rosswarmemorials.org.uk which gives much more detail.
