Brora is a village in the east of Sutherland, in the Highland area of Scotland. The name Brora is derived from ancient Norse, meaning 'river with a bridge. A small industrial village having at one time a coal pit, boat building, salt pans, fish curing, lemonade factory, the new Clynelish Distillery (as well as the old Clynelish distillery which is now called the Brora distillery ), wool mill, bricks and a stone quarry. The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Formation, of the Callovian and Oxfordian stages (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Stone from the quarry was used in the construction of London Bridge, Liverpool Cathedral and Dunrobin Castle.
When in operation, the coalmine was the most northerly coalmine in the UK. Brora was the first place in the north of Scotland to have electricity thanks to its wool industry. This distinction gave rise to the local nickname of Electric City at the time. Brora also houses a baronial style clock tower which is a war memorial.
The village is situated where the A9 road and the Far North Line bridge the River Brora. The village is served by a railway station. Buses operate about every two hours Mondays-Saturdays and infrequently on Sundays from Brora to Golspie, Dornoch, Tain and Inverness in the south and Helmsdale, Berriedale, Dunbeath, Halkirk, Thurso and Scrabster in the north. These are on route X99 and are operated by Stagecoach in the Highlands.

Loch Brora
Brora.The river was in great fettle and although I’d never previously fished the Loch during August’s, “Scarecrow Festival”, I fully expected to be eaten alive by midgies. As you can hear on the video, the whole environment was serenely quiet and as usual, the scenery is simply stunning. A few gleaming bars of silver showed themselves in the usual spots and it was really encouraging to see so many other anglers out fishing on the Loch. Plenty small but perfectly formed troots and I had a brief encounter with a stunning silver tourist around the 10lb mark. After an explosive run, it released the fly during a spectacular rolling swirl on the surface but it is on days like this that you appreciate how fortunate we are to live in this beautiful country, that is Scotland.Especially when the midgies aren’t as bad as you thought they’d be! Happy days ????
