Old photograph of cottages in Culbokie, Gaelic Cùil Bhòcaidh, located near Dingwall, Scotland. The land here was primarily owned by the Fraser family of Culbokie from the 1500s until the late 1600s, when it passed to the Mackenzies of Findon and later the Scatwell Mackenzies. In 1681, Charles II granted the right to hold regular fairs in Culbokie. By the mid-1700s, it was a major trading hub for livestock, whisky, and merchandise, with markets sometimes lasting four days.
