Olaf and Hester Macleod

The contribution of Olaf and Hester Macleod to the cultural life of Ross and Cromarty was brought to mind when, in August 2019, Ross and Cromarty Heritage Society received an email from Alberto Rubio Diaz, owner of a house which he now runs as an hotel in Minas de Riotinto, Andalucia, Spain.

Photo [courtesy of the F W Urquhart collection] of a later version of the "Strathie" taken at Dingwall Station. In 1897 the Highland Railway Company ran five trains a day on the branch line from Dingwall to Strathpeffer [see Strathpeffer/Environment/The Peffery Way]. The first train, at 7.40 am, was a mixed/mail passenger train. The journey took ten minutes. As the train has been decorated, could this be to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897?
