Cromarty Living By The Sea was a project close to our hearts – literally. Being based in the town we are keen that its history, culture and people have a good web presence (See our Cromarty Image Library, for instance), so when we were approached to develop a web site detailing the gathering and preserving of personal reminiscences of townspeople, we were delighted to be involved.
The project was originally devised as part of the Highlands 2007, Scotlands Year of Culture festival. However, it was also a timely reminder of Cromarty’s age-old link with the sea. Stories, anecdotes, memories and poems by people of all ages were gathered, with complementary photographs and artwork prepared, and a book published and sold. A complementary web site was considered as the best medium for disseminating this material across a wider area, and for gathering follow-up comments and opinions.
