Ross & Cromarty in Postcards 2
I shall load up this page without using the gallery format.
The Harbour, Cromarty. A card sent in 1908(?), showing some interesting craft moored in the harbour.
SS "Claymore", Loch Ewe. A MacLean, Poolewe postcard sent probably during WW1.
James Ellis's shop in Ardgay, a card sent in 1904. The rubble seen bottom right is from the Post Office, which was being built next door at this time. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Ardgay was in Ross-shire or Sutherland, so I am adding this rather good photo to both pages!
"Gruinard Hill from Bottom. Laide." This looks harmless enough, but Gruinard Hill is known for its steep gradient, 1 in 3. It is 328 feet in height, forming a dramatic section of the A832 between Gairloch and Ullapool. An early card, publisher unknown.
