Uncover Brora’s Heritage
Wednesday to Sunday
9am -5pm
A huge thanks to @we_makethingshappen for designing our spaces and permanent exhibitions, to @evm.scotland for building & installing and to @lightlywest for making mounts for our artefacts.
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our community members and volunteers who have helped us build up our collections, shared stories and carried out research.
Thanks also to all of our funders!

Thursday 26 February 2026 is Say A Gaelic Phrase Day. This is an initiative to encourage people to try speaking Gaelic, or to use the Gaelic that they have!
Our phrase is “ Cha tuit mòin à cliabh falaimh” meaning Peat will not fall out of an empty creel.

What’s the scoom?
A great way to find out local gossip!
The literal translation is “foam”, how did we get from foam to gossip?
A little drama bubbling on the waves?
