Dear sir, I have to give you a huge thanks. I am from The Kingdom of Fife and as a kid I spent nearly every summer holidays in Cromarty. Not only that, you videoed up the highly dangerous single track road of which there is on the left, across the road from "The Big House" that emerges on one's right, around half way up, there is an ancient grave yard that has paupers graves. The video stopped at Cromarty Mains farm. My uncle Rod, sadly departed of many a year, a gentleman who I hold dearly in high esteem, and always a place in my heart, was the oversman of the farm. At the end of the video there is a road to the left, that road continues along and then climbs to the point. The point had gun emplacements to protect the battle ships harbouring in the firth, as the firth is of great depth and one can see miles out into the North Sea. Today its cruise ships that enters heading to Invergordon and redundant oil rig platforms stored. Not only did the military use this road, but at the side of the point, I would say well over a hundred feet down to the sea, the remnants of a pulley system with cliff steps that the military would be furnished with supplies and munitions. I can only assume it will have been eroded by now as it was rather dilapidated in the early sixties. I almost fell to my death there as there was no indication of cliff edge, no fence just braken, only the beginning of the gradient that drew my attention in the first place. With great sadness, and deep regret, I am no longer able to travel the 125 miles or so due to medical reasons. Again a massive thank you.
Garry great footage....would it be ok to share it on our Cromarty FB page...and would give you a credit for use...by including your full name. Many Thanks John Macdonald

Fantastic memories could see my old house on Allan sq
Looks so similar to the beetle guise opening was half expecting a big spider to come over one of the buildings.
I live here at Cromarty & you captured almost every good shot
Aye
