Rebuilding Brora's Salt Making Heritage
Online talk by Jacquie Aitken, Brora Salt Pans Research Group and Timespan Museum. She will give a presentation providing an overview of the archaeology, history, and rebuilding of a salt pan
The talk is organised by Fortrose and Rosemarkie Local History Society. Talks are open to members, with membership costing £5/year. To apply for membership send your name (as it will appear in Zoom gallery) and your email address to fortroserosemarkiehistory@gmail.com.
Brora was one of the nation’s leading and most northern salt producers produced using coal mined from a small pocket of Jurassic rock. The Brora Salt Pans project built a replica 18th-century salt pan on the grounds of Brora Heritage Centre and trained volunteers to revive Brora’s lost salt-making heritage and again produce Brora Sea Salt.
