Plaque on the bridge over the former railway line, at Fodderty, detailing the history of the line as shown below. The bridge carries the rough track which locals say was known as "the coffin road" and seems entirely possible as the track connects the Lochussie/Knockbain area with Fodderty cemetery. [Photo RCHS]

Strathpeffer Heights Heritage Exhibition Sept 2001

In September of the year 2001, a group of 'Heights Folk' worked together to mount an exhibition in the Achterneed Hall, Heights, Strathpeffer. It was an outstanding success. The photographs from the Heights Heritage Exhibition have been divided into several photograph albums to make it easier to view.

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.
