NH 792 671 In September 2006 two trial trenches were cut to test a hypothesis that Church Street, Cromarty, formerly continued along the foot of the raised beach and was diverted by the Laird of Cromarty in the late 17th or 18th century to enable land to be taken into the policies of the house. In the event, no archaeology was found apart from evidence of former gardens belonging to Cromarty House. However, it may be that the trenches were incorrectly located and further work is planned for 2007. The project gave an opportunity to local people to take part in archaeological excavation alongside professional archaeologists.
