Old photograph of the hotel in Invershin located six miles South of Lairg, Sutherland, Scotland. Invershin, Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Sin, is a scattered village north of Bonar Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. Invershin is located close to the junction of the River Shin and the River Oykel. Lands of " Inverchyn " or " Inverchen " are mentioned in 13th century documents. Thomas Munro was a missionary preacher living in Invershin. Missionaries were assigned to large Highland parishes to help the minister. As well as preaching, catechising and visiting the sick, part of their job was to supervise the behaviour of people in their district and report offenders to the Kirk Session.
