We believe this picture of a float was constucted by the Tain Scouts as part of the Tain Carnival of c1946/7. They are obviously making a social/political commentary. In the background is the old Co-op stores at the top of King Street, now occupied by Mr. Shafi's drapery business. Attached to this building on the left we can see the old bakehouse now long gone. This bakehouse was, among others, owned at one time by James Robertson, baker, who was Provost of Tain 1921-24. The last private baker to use it was Alexander before it was taken over by the Co-op.

This dramatic picture shows Neil D Forbes' garage going up in flames c1950, perhaps earlier. Given the close proximity of the petrol pumps the consequences could have been very serious. It was situated near the foot of Scotsburn Road and part of the concrete base on which the pumps stood can still be seen beside the pavement where the flower bed is close by.

This photo shows Tarlogie House probably when it belonged to Hugh Rose of Glastullich (later known as Hugh Ross of Cromarty). It was obviously taken on some public occasion but what, is not immediately clear. There appears to be a long trestle or table covered with a white cloth and surrounded by wooden benches in the bottom right hand corner.

This post card shows a large crowd participating in the Sacraments service in the open air at Ferintosh in 1873. This would have been quite a common ocurrence at that time. Scattered communities could not all have their own church and their own minister. People would have come from far and wide to attend this important occasion.

Charles James Embleton, seen here with his father, George Embleton, served on HMS Exeter as a stoker while it was engaged in the Battle of the River Plate against the German ship the Graf Spee during WWII. The Embleton family lived in Fountain Road, Tain. Charlie, as he was known, was later presented with a silver tea service and gold wristlet watch from the town to commemorate his part in such an epic incident. The tea service was returned to the town a few years ago and is currently in the museum's keeping.

This crowd of people are attending a fairly substantial and oviously well organised demonstration on and around the Gallow Hill on Tain Links. We know it was a demonstration because post cards of the same scene say so but annoyingly do not say what kind of demonstration it was.

This picture was taken during a ceremony of planting a tree to commemorate King Edward VII's Coronation in the park below the churchyard. It shows a town council group (which includes A Ross; Provost Fowler; Baillie Gallie; Wm Ross; A MacDuff ross; Baillie Wallace) watched by a substantial crowd. This is a scene which is completely changed. The park is now overshadowed by trees and bushes and the thatched buildings in the background together with the building whose gable shows on the right hand side with its fine wall and arched gateway have all disappeared.

This is the site of the Battle of Flodden, which took place on September 9th 1513. Its connection with Tain is that this is where James IV was killed, only a few weeks after the last of his frequent pilgrimages to the shrine of St Duthac in Tain.

This view is taken from roughly James IV's position, looking north. The English were on the low ridge in the middle of the picture. Although the Scots were in a strong position and had captured most of the local strongholds they were lured into making a disastrous attack. They were unable to bring their cannons to bear on the English from this position. Instead of waiting for the English to come to them, they rushed down the hill to find that the dip between the ridges was wet and swampy - as it still is today despite modern drainage. They got bogged down and were slaughtered. About 10,000 Scots (including much of the nobility) and up to 3,000 English were believed to have been killed. Even 500 years on it is a moving experience to visit this place.

On the right of the picture you can just see the village of Branxton. Many of the dead were buried here in huge pits, and James IV's body was put in the church overnight before being taken to London - its eventual fate is still a bit of a mystery. You can also just see the monument commemorating the battle on the highest point of the ridge just above the trees.

This post card by Ross, (Booksellers) Tain illustrates the extra responsibilities the Lovat Scouts had compared to ordinary soldiers. They didn't just have their own kit to look after. The Lovat Scouts were raised in 1900, mainly originally from Highland ghillies, by the 16th Lord Lovat 3 months after the outbreak of the Boer War. Their purpose was to match the elusive Boers whose speed, surprise, and superior fieldcraft, reconnaissance and marksmanship had inflicted heavy casualties on the British Regular Army. They and their successors distinguished themselves in South Africa and the two World Wars.

This fountain was created as part of the decorations for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Celebrations in 1887 on the former site of the market cross which had been moved as it was an obstruction to traffic. It was constructed by William Macrae & Sons, Plumbers, free of charge. Presumably it was built as a temporary feature. The fountain fixture (but not the base of rocks and ferns shown in this picture) was later transferred to the garden of Mansfield House (now the Mansfield House Hotel) which was occupied by the then Provost, Donald Fowler. It can still be seen in the hotel grounds.
