Hi folks,

http://www.ambaile.org is the Highland Council's award winning Highland History and Culture website. It's not a community website like our lovely Org, but an information and research web site that is continuing to grow in size and reputation.

In dealing with some of the Caithness related content we have often come to a dead-end because of lack of information. With your permission I'd like to inform you of some of the subjects that require more information.
Any and all memories are very much appreciated and if used on the site will be credited to the contributor.

First up is the Harrow Wool Mill, Pulteneytown.

Post in this thread or PM me with any info. Thanks a lot. :)

Yes its a great site for researching the history of the Highlands.....


Anyone have parents or grandparents that worked in Harrow Wool Mill?
Anyone know the exact whereabouts of Harrow Wool Mill? Harrow Hill area I'm guessing?

ANY INFO appreciated! :D

Welcome back Saveman, it's nice to see you back with us! :) You have been missed!

Thankyou so much for posting the link to the Highland History and Culture website. I'd never seen that one before, but I've had a quick look now, and I can see it's one I'm going to enjoy! :D
