Brora
Brora is a village in the east of Sutherland, in the Highland location of Scotland. Brora is a small industrial village, contending once a coal pit, boat building, salt pans, fish healing, lemonade factory, the new Clynelish Distillery (in addition to 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 stages (previously Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Rock from the quarry was used in the building 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 starting point in the north of Scotland to have power thanks to its woollen sector. This difference gave rise to the regional label of "Electric City" at the time. Brora also houses a baronial style clock tower which is a battle memorial.
