Cromarty History Society got back down to business with a fascinating talk about civil engineers who had a massive impact on the Highlands.

The September lecture was the first of the new 2022-23 season. A spokeswoman said: 'We sincerely hope that after the last two years of false starts, we will run for a complete September-April season again.

'Our speaker was freelance writer Anne-Mary Paterson, who has a special interest in railways, by virtue of coming from a local family of civil engineers, who were engaged in railway building in the nineteenth century.'
