Scope and Content View of part of Helmsdale Town, the harbour and the "new" bridge, which was constructed in 1972 and now carries the A9 over the Helmsdale River. Helmsdale Harbour, built 1818 by engineer John Rennie, was extended 1839-41 for the Duke of Sutherland, and rebuilt 1890 for the Helmsdale Harbour Trustees. (The older 1818 part consists of a quay and pier upstream from the new 1972 bridge forming a rectangular basin - not visible on this image). The 1890 part shown here consists of two piers enclosing a roughly triangular basin. Designed mainly as a fishing port. Round both harbours are fisher cottages and fish-curing houses (mostly ruined). Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
