I can’t say for certain but given that this photograph was taken in late-1914, it’s very likely that these parcels are being send to a soldier, or soldiers, either at the Front or at training far from home.

When the new layout of the A9 at #Inverness was suggested in the early 1970s, a Bronze Age cairn lay on the proposed route. In 1974, following excavations, a team of volunteers moved the stones approximately 500 metres to a site near the Raigmore housing estate (pictured)

A Southern Railway locomotive at #Dingwall during #WWII. Due to the pressure on railways, engines and rolling stock sometimes ended up far from their usual areas and from 1941 to 1944, this one worked predominantly on the #Strathpeffer branch line
