Brora
Brora is a village in the eastern of Sutherland, in the Highland area of Scotland. Brora is a little commercial village, contending once a coal pit, boat structure, salt pans, fish curing, lemonade factory, the new Clynelish Distillery (as well as the old Clynelish distillery which is now called the Brora distillery, wool mill, blocks as well as a rock quarry. The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Formation, of the Callovian and also Oxfordian stages (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Rock from the quarry was used in the building of London Bridge, Liverpool Cathedral and Dunrobin Castle. When in operation, the coalmine was one of the most northerly coalmine in the UK. Brora was the starting point in the north of Scotland to have electrical power thanks to its woollen sector. This difference triggered the regional label of "Electric City" at the time. Brora also houses a baronial style clock tower which is a war memorial.
