Brora
Brora is a village in the eastern of Sutherland, in the Highland area of Scotland. Brora is a tiny commercial village, having at one time a coal pit, watercraft building, salt pans, fish healing, lemonade manufacturing facility, the new Clynelish Distillery (as well as the old Clynelish distillery which is now called the Brora distillery, woollen mill, bricks as well as a rock quarry. The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Formation, of the Callovian and Oxfordian phases (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Rock from the quarry was made use of in the building and construction of London Bridge, Liverpool Cathedral as well as Dunrobin Castle. When in operation, the coalmine was one of the most northerly coalmine in the UK. Brora was the first place in the north of Scotland to have power thanks to its wool market. This difference generated the local label of "Electric City" at the time. Brora likewise houses a baronial style clock tower which is a war memorial.
