Sarclet - any old photos?

[vfranz]

I have just managed to get to Sarclet, where I had discovered many of my family lived in the 19th century. It is an extraordinary place now, but I would love to see images of it as it was during the herring years so that I can better imagine the life of my gt-gt-gt-grandparents and others. I cannot find any on the Internet - can anyone help? Many thanks!

Hi, The Wick Heritage Society (website http://www.wickheritage.org/) may be able to help you if you contact them. They also have an associated website which has pictures for sale http://www.johnstoncollection.net/ unfortunately when I just looked at the website all the pictures on the site have not loaded - which may be an issue with my broadband account, or possibly the Johnston Collection site is not working properly. Anyway if you do a search for Sarclet they do have a number of old pictures available and if you contact them I am sure they will be able to help.

They also have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/The-Johnsto...3820243000662/

What is the name as we have old crofting records and the old OS estate map that has the names of tenants and houses on it

The Johnston Collection website has crashed but it should be up again soon.
