ID:QZP40_CARD_0670DESCRIPTION:Alness is a town in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland.
Divided by the River Averon, it is in two parishes, Alness in the west and Rosskeen in the east. It existed as a port on the Cromarty Firth by 1690, but really started to grow as a settlement either side of a ferry crossing over the river on the route of the main road built in 1715. In 1810 Telford dramatically improved the quality of the road, and built a bridge over the River Averon.PLACENAME:AlnessOLD COUNTY/PARISH:ROSSPERIOD:1910sSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:32590KEYWORDS:
