I'm sure the dark haired man facing the camera is Hamish Stewart owner of the Byre and local councillor.

Come on Susan. Hamish Stuart, whose daughter Laura presented Michael Ancram with a memento of the event. Hamish had prodded the District Council into doing the Ropeworks up.

Mary, you wouldn't by any chance have a pic of Hamish's Jeep for this site would you?

Sorry Mary my apologies.

Sorry Garve, I think there were only two in existence, pictures and that particular jeep. Will have a look.

Once upon a time I was an art teacher on the Black Isle (1974-1979). I lived at Raddery House, then Braelangwell, then in a wing of Poyntzfield House with Barbara Cunliffe. My friend's parents used to run the Royal in Cromarty - we all shared a wonderful late 70s existence. I was an art teacher called Pat - does anyone recall those days?
