The latest development in the #InvernessFootballMemories project is the publication of a 136-page book which charts the history of football in #Inverness from the 1880s to the present day. Copies can be ordered from the Highland Achive Service shop - high-life-highland.myshopify…

#Invergarry Station, circa early-1920s. The man on the far left is James Mathieson, who was a Guard on the Invergarry & Fort Augustus Railway. Next to him is probably the Station Master and perhaps the others are visitors to Glenquoich Lodge. I was sent the image by James Mathieson's great-grandson who is trying to find out more about the photo. I wonder if anyone has knowledge of the area and can help...?

The Fish Curing Station at Kyle of Lochalsh, c1919. At the time of this photograph, the Fernbank Smokehouse (left) was owned by W. H. Butcher, a fish merchant from Peterhead. The smokehouse on the right was opened c1917 by Alf Spring & Co., a fish curing business in Hull. This was a fairly short-lived venture, the business going into liquidation in 1924. It was then taken over by a local man, Donald Stewart [photo: Duncan Macpherson; source: Skye & #Lochalsh Archive Centre]

Loch Leven, 1898. On the right is #Glencoe House, built a couple of years earlier by Donald Alexander Smith (later Lord Strathcona). In October 1914, the house was offered for use as a convalescent home for the war wounded. It became an auxiliary hospital during #WWII, later being purchased by Argyll County Council and transformed into a maternity hospital, opening in 1948. In 1955 it became a hospital for surgical convalescences and geriatric patients, closing in 2009. It became a hotel in 2012 [photo: James Valentine: source: HLH Archives, D1751/2/2/6]
