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.

The former Free Church in Jamestown, Strathpeffer.

The former Free Church in Jamestown, Strathpeffer. Following the Disruption of 1843 the people of Jamestown were gifted land by Mrs Stewart-Mackenzie of Seaforth and built a church in 1861-62 along with adjacent manse and glebe buildings. The building behind the church was reputed to be a school. The last service held in the church was in 1954 and the building fell into disrepair.
