Again there is a dearth of newspaper coverage for 1985 and 1986, although in the former year the Choir participated in a special Songs of Praise in Ferintosh Church to honour James Curr’s 70 years as an organist.

Dingwall WW1

Dingwall 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.
