Old Photograph Main Street Lybster Scotland

Old photograph of houses and people on the Main Street in Lybster, Caithness, Scotland. Lybster is a village on the east coast of Caithness. It was once a big herring fishing port, but has declined in recent years, due to problems in the industry. The Sinclairs of Lybster have long roots running back to the Sinclair earls who ruled Caithness that was once a much larger area taking in much of Sutherland. Tracing further back the family has connections to the Norwegian earls who controlled the north of Scotland for centuries. Lybster railway station was part of the Wick and Lybster Railway. It opened on 1 July 1903. The movie, The Silver Darlings, from Neil Gunn's book, was shot here.
