October
Book Group
​Tuesday 20th October 2026 : 1400 to 1600
Dingwall Library
​
Anybody is welcome to join us, as this month we start a new book: Hugh Miller of Cromarty's biography: My Schools and Schoolmasters. It promises to be a fascinating first-person account of Easter Ross in the late 18th and early 19th century. We'll start with the first two chapters, and then see where we get to.
​
You can get a copy of the book as it's freely available second-hand online. There's an 1869 edition easily readable on the Internet Archive, here. Or you can borrow a copy from Dingwall Library

Do join us!
The Official Opening of our new Venue - The Old School Annex
​1030, Wednesday 21st October 2026 :
Venue: The Old School Annex at 64 High Street, Dingwall
​
Since we took on the lease of 64 High Street, we have decorated it, preparing it to be a shop and occasional meeting place, with some heritage material in place. So, on 21st October, we open to the public for the first time. Thereafter we'll open Tuesday to Saturday, 1100-1500, until Christmas.
​
At 1030, we'll publicly take over the keys of the property from Bits and Pieces. They have much to celebrate - 41 years of raising money for local charities. We'll invite the press, and have a wee party. Do come to celebrate with us.
