Brora
Brora is a village in the east of Sutherland, in the Highland area of Scotland. Brora is a tiny commercial village, having at once a coal pit, boat structure, salt frying pans, fish treating, lemonade factory, the brand-new Clynelish Distillery (as well as the old Clynelish distillery which is now called the Brora distillery, woollen mill, blocks and 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 made use of in the building and construction of London Bridge, Liverpool Cathedral as well as Dunrobin Castle. When in operation, the coalmine was the most northern 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 nickname of "Electric City" at the time. Brora also houses a baronial style clock tower which is a battle memorial.
