East face of the stone. Joe and Alasdair went to visit the famous Kilvannie Stones. They are about 100 metres away from Fodderty Primary, our old school. There is an old old story about how they came to be there.

East cup, The story of Kilvannie Stones. Long ago there were giants who liked to have contests. They would go up to Knockfarrel and get huge stones and throw them over the hill. But one day the weather spoilt people's sport, and when the foot holds were slippery the stones, instead of clearing the valley, landed deep in the hollow. The big grooves in the stone are the giants' finger and thumb marks which are still there this day.

West face of the stone. One of the giants had killed all the local wives and children was beheaded. All the other giants went into the cave at Munlochy called Craig Howe and fell asleep.

West cup. Centuries passed. Then one day a shepherd chanced on the cave and went inside and saw before him the giants and their hounds stretched out sleeping. Above the door there was a hunting horn which he took down and put to his lips. As he blew he noticed that the giant's eyes were now open but they did not move. He blew again and the giant sat straight up. Unnerved, the shepherd fled and the giants shouted 'Wretch , you have left us worse than you found us!' And that is the story of Kilvannie Stones.
Mosaic Day
Mosaic Day
WHEN Age Concern worker Linda Odd helped organise an arts session during Older People's Week in the Strathpeffer Community Centre last October, four mosaic panels representing "The Seasons" were produced by older people who worked with pupils from Primary 7 of Strathpeffer School. The plan was to exhibit the panels on the walls in the Community Centre, but as yet the panels which measure two feet by one, remain hidden from view. "We are still looking for someone to frame the four panels," explained Linda. Extract and picture from 'The Highland News'

Strathpeffer WW1

Strathpeffer 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.
