Old Photographs Harbour Reay Scotland

Old photograph of fishing boats in the harbour in Reay by Sandside Bay, Caithness, Scotland. In 1437, the MacKays defeated the men of Caithness at Sandside Bay in the battle known as the Sandside Chase, turning there on the pursuers that had chased them away from an attempted raid. The area around the village has been occupied for millennia. Within the modern village are the remains of a stone circle, several Viking houses and burials. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
