In Focus
Bettyhill is a fairly recent creation. The original village in the area was
Farr, now a crofting settlement lying a mile north-east of Bettyhill. What changed things was the coming of
the Highland Clearances. The area was once heavily populated, but 15,000 people were cleared from the land
between 1811 and 1821. The Countess of Sutherland had a resettlement village built near the coast on the east side of the mouth of the River Naver,

Featured Book
Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (12 August 2024).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
