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.

Kiltearn WW1

Kiltearn 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.
