Dingwall is in the Highland region, and was formerly the county town of Ross and Cromarty.

None of these is major deco but they have at least a bit of the look.

This bank is possibly 1950s, though:-

This one’s more like it. Rule of three in centre and side windows, three end windows, the glazing itself:-

Reverse view: rule of three in windows, plus flat roof portion:-

A sturdier looking building:-

Alness is a town in Easter Ross and Cromarty about three miles from Invergordon.

Its War Memorial lies at the end of the High Street at its junction with Obsdale Road.

It’s unusual for a War Memorial to be constructed from red sandstone as this one is. The shape of the curved base is also uncommon.

The inscription on the column reads, “The Great War 1914-1918. This stone commemorates the men of Alness and West Rosskeen who at their country’s call went forth to defend their homes and empire, endured untold sufferings and passed from the sight of men by the path of duty and sacrifice.”

And on the base, above the names, “Their dust is in the deserts and the deep sea and yet triumphant o’er the grave their spirits never sleep but guard the freedom which they died to save.”

Invergordon is a town on the Cromarty Firth in Easter Ross, Ross and Cromarty, in the Highland region of Scotland. In 1931 it was the scene of a naval mutiny, one of the few in British history.

Its War Memorial stands at the north end of the main street and is a tapering square column inscribed at the base, “1914-1918. To the glory of God and in memory of our gallant dead. Their name liveth for evermore.”

View from east showing full column:-

Great War names are on the column. The base here, on the east side, is inscribed “1939-1945” with names below:-

West side. Great War names on column, Second World War names on base:-

Plockton is a lovely village on the shores of Loch Carron, in the Ross and Cromarty area of the Scottish Highlands.

Its appearance may be familiar to some due to it being used in the filming of the TV series of Hamish Macbeth.

Despite its small population and remoteness it is served by a railway. The Inverness-Kyle of Lochalsh line.

The water was incredibly clear:-

The small island of Sgeir Bhuidhe lies just offshore:-

Duncraig Castle is on the far shore. The castle has its own railway station! (I believe the owner would only allow the railway to be built across his land with that as a proviso):-
