Brora Heritage Centre
Village of Brora, Sutherland
Visit Brora Heritage Centre to see an eclectic mix of artefacts, images and stories of Brora’s unique Highland industrial history. There’s even a reconstruction of the old coal mine for you to explore.
Having Britain’s most northerly coal mine, this rich resource fuelled a range of spin-off industries, including the making of bricks, whisky, tweed and salt. Nowhere in the Highlands is there a place like Brora and the centre tells the story of this remarkable hidden gem in Scotland’s north.
