Prohibition Areas Map

The map shows all the areas around Inver that people were prohibited to enter because the army was using live ammunition. The villages of Portmahomack and Rockfield and the farming areas on Tarbat were cut off completely from the rest of Easter Ross. Note: this photo appears twice The second time it has been identified as Tain Range.

Coastal Photo

This aerial photograph shows the 'white' sands which were chosen for their resemblance to the beach landing sights at Normandy, but they proved unsuitable due to the channel and shifting sands. In fact an aerial photograph taken during the war would probably have shown quite a different picture. Photograph kindly supplied by RAF Tain.
