Full Description

Formerly included no 28 High Street-now NH 75NW 257

A new shop came to Rosemarkie in the 1930s with first Margaret Fraser (1931/2) and then Christina Fraser (1935/6, 38/9) making and selling hats from 26 High Street. At that time all ladies wore hats so a milliner’s was a useful addition to the range of village shops. Nevertheless the improved transport network meant that ladies could travel into Inverness to shop by either bus and ferry or train from Fortrose. <1>
