Old Photographs Bettyhill North East Coast Of Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Bettyhill, Scottish Gaelic: Am Blàran Odhar, a village in the parish of Farr, located on the A836 road 32 miles west of Thurso and 12 miles from Tongue. It lies 5 miles from the village of Skerray; its former fishing port was called Navermouth. The whole of the north highlands, Assynt to Cape Wrath, Loch Shin to Strath Halladale and Reay, was known as Clan Mackay Country from the 13th century. The long valley of Strathnaver runs for seventeen miles south from Bettyhill to Altnaharra and was once heavily populated. It formed part of the 1.5 million acre estates of the Countess of Sutherland and her husband, the Marquess of Stafford, later to become the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, from which 15,000 people were cleared between 1811 and 1821, mostly by the estate factor, Patrick Sellar. The Countess of Sutherland, in a move unusual for the time, had a replacement village built near the coast on the east side of the mouth of the River Naver. This she named after herself as Bettyhill.
