Isle Martin Trust will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the first fishing station in Loch Broom, 13 years before the founding of Ullapool. If you don’t know the story of Isle Martin Herring station and its amazing buildings, then come along to the island for a guided tour led by local archaeologist Cathy Dagg. Cathy will be charting the herring’s historical role in the economic and social development in the Loch Broom Area.
