Dunnichen
Dunnichen today. Dunnichen (formerly Rondebosch) was built in 1902 for a South African on a grand scale, rich in overall form and exquisite in detail, and never sub-divided, in spite of its size, unlike other villas of the period.

The wonderful view down the Strath to Dingwall from the garden of Manderley. Manderley - For a contemporary house I think Angus Macdonald's "Manderley" is a worthy example of the period, also in a piended style with strong overhanging eaves, reflecting the owner's times working in the Far East. It is set on the hillside above the village with spectacular views down the strath to the Cromarty Firth. [Sadly, Angus Macdonald died in 2010.]

Raven Cottage
Raven Cottage
Raven Cottage An early cottage, originally thatched, tucked into the slope, now surrounded by Victorian villas and dominated by Cromartie Buildings, but it would have been in green fields at one time.
Timaru
Timaru
Timaru, completed in 1877 to the design of Inverness architect Alexander Ross, is a glorious essay - or at least the frontage is - in carpenter's Gothic style with finely carved posts and balusters and eaves boards. It was built for a retired New Zealand sheep-farmer and has an air of far-off lands about it.
Santrothen
Santrothen
Santrothen (beside the former filling station) is an interesting example of 1950's bungalow style with a part-piended (hipped) and slated roof and bold facing brick detail over entrance and at windows on the front elevation.

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.
