Brora Heritage Centre
A Family attraction if ever there was one, Brora Heritage Centre
is one minutes drive from the centre of the village. Ample parking
space and parkland aplenty for picnics and energetic youngsters
to make the most of our excellent East Coast weather. A vending
machine in the building offers a choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
Inside the centre, (which has full disabled access and facilities),
our local staff can guide you round the exhibits and hands-on children’s
learning panels which illustrate the remarkable story of this lively
village.
For adults and children alike, there is
a wide selection of exhibits on the local Whisky, Coal and Woollen
industry as well as a fabulous new display by our local Clyne Heritage
Society.
Illustrated with hand painted maps and local artefacts, the exhibition
tells the story of the area from stone age times right up to the
present day. Anyone interested in genealogy and archaeology shouldn't
miss this chance to get an insight into the vast history of one
small part of the Highlands.
Falls of Shin
Falls of Shin Visitor Centre is the best place in Scotland to
see wild Atlantic Salmon in their natural habitat.
Watch salmon battle their way up the waterfall on their annual
journey to the spawning grounds in the headwaters of the River Shin
and it's tributaries.
The salmon start their run as the waters warm from the end of
April through to the end of November and can be easily seen from
the well-maintained viewing platform only 100 metres from the car
park.
