Old Photographs Cromarty Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Cromarty in Ross and Cromarty, Highlands. Cromarty is a seaport on the southern shore of the mouth of Cromarty Firth, 5 miles seaward from Invergordon on the opposite coast. Until 1890 it was the county town of the former county of Cromartyshire. The town grew around its port, formerly used by ferries, to export locally grown hemp fibre, and by trawlers trawling for herrings. The port was a British naval base during the First World War Hugh Miller was born in Cromarty on 10 October 1802, he was a self taught Scottish geologist and writer, folklorist and an evangelical Christian. Miller committed suicide, shooting himself in the chest with a revolver in his house on Tower Street, Portobello, Edinburgh, on the night of 23/24 December 1856. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Connected Communities Festival: Representing Communities
Representing Communities: Developing the Creative Power of People to Improve Health and Wellbeing
The aim of this project is to explore how community representations produced through creative arts practices can become forms of knowledge to inform health-related policy, service developments as well as social action.
A barrier for communities at the harsh end of the health inequalities gradient is that both demographic data and popular media portrayals
cast them in largely negative terms which tell only part of their story.
The conviction of this project is that the creative arts and the humanities can play a transformative role in the process of improving communication, dialogue and knowledge exchange.
The project's stand at the festival provided an opportunity to view the progress of the five case-studies in Wales (North Merthyr, Butetown in Cardiff), Scotland (Dennistoun in Glasgow and Cromarty in the Highlands and Islands) and Hodge Hill in Birmingham through interactive iPads.
Speakers:
Dr Eva Elliott, Cardiff University
Dr Issie MacPhail. University of the Highlands and Islands Centre for Health Science
