Corrugated Iron Buildings in the Highlands

Graham Clark

Victoria Hall, Cromarty

Autumn is coming and with it Cromarty History Society’s season of monthly talks will soon be underway.

On Tuesday September 16th, Dr Graham Clark will be telling us about the history of Corrugated Iron Buildings in the Highlands. Graham retired in 2002 as Principal of Inverness College and published a book about Redcastle in 2009 since when he has published more books and articles. He specialises in the history of ‘School Log Books’ and ‘Corrugated Iron Buildings’ and has won awards for articles on his research.

His illustrated talk begins with the invention of corrugated iron sheeting and why its use became widespread across the Highlands from the 18th Century until after WW1.

Meetings begin at 7.30pm in the Victoria Hall, Cromarty and are followed by refreshments. The fee for each talk is £5 but a whole year’s membership costs only £15 for all 8 meetings. Please bring cash.

Members come from the Black Isle and beyond and further information can be found on the Society’s website at www.cromartyhistory.scot. We look forward to meeting you as the new session begins.
