    Report - Altnaharra ROC Post - Sutherland - April 2017

    Probably one of the most remote posts i've visited. It involved driving along a single track road for an hour and thirty minutes without passing another vehicle. It was absolutely freezing and I left my tripod in the car so had to make do with phone photos - no chance I was going back! Quite a...

    1991 Closure visited on my Scotland Trip. Having not seen any photos online of the post and assuming it was still locked, we went and checked it out to discover it was infact open.

    Report - Tams Pottery (Sutherland / Blyth Works ), Longton - February 2009

    Known about this for years, just never got around to it. Some other great stuff in the area as well ;) I'm sure this is the Sutherland Works, it's on Sutherland Street. The Atlas works is on Paragon Street, over the road a bit, and the Crown Works is on The Strand. I don't think there's...

    History:Opened May 1960, Closed September 1991 Third stop on my 320 mile round trip. Another failure. The proximity to the beach means that salty air has seized the T-bar cover. I was unable to move it using conventional methods. I could have went back to the car and got a bigger tool for the...
