ID:QZP40_CARD_0826DESCRIPTION:The south end of the village of Munlochy. It is situated to the west of Avoch, at the head of Munlochy Bay on the Black Isle.
It is unclear at what point a settlement occurred here but it is believed that its growth was partially due to workers quarrying stone for the construction of Fort George, in the 1760s. The village went through a second phase of development with the building of a railway station at Munlochy, on the Fortrose branch of the Highland Railway in 1894.
The bridge placed Munlochy just six miles from Inverness, well within commuting distance to the developing Highland Capital. Today, Munlochy benefits from both its geographical position and the significance of Munlochy Bay as a bird breeding sanctuaryPLACENAME:MunlochyDISTRICT:AvochOLD COUNTY/PARISH:ROSS: KnockbainPERIOD:1940sSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:32743KEYWORDS:
