Cromarty Town Council — and the end of local democracy

Sandy Thomson

As a medieval burgh, Cromarty had a Town Council — one that lasted in various forms until 1975. Tonight’s talk outlines all the changes to the present day, and then looks in detail at the activities of the last Town Council, as reported in the minutes of their meetings.

Sandy has been a member of Cromarty History Society for the past twenty-five years. He has been a committee member, our Convener, and he reckons that tonight will be his sixteenth talk to the Society. He moved to Cromarty in 1997 following retirement from Strathclyde University.

Cromarty History Society meets in the West Church Hall, Cromarty at 7.30pm on the the third Thursday of each month, September - April
