Farraline Park, an impressive Grecian style building, was built 1841 as a school (also known as Bell’s institution). During building work for this in 1840, nine complete, irregularly laid out skeletons were uncovered. The dates for these skeletons are uncertain, but the site of the building was clearly reusing an unknown grave site prior to being a school. Imagine the scary stories the children probably told each other about the school being haunted!
The school was closed in 1937 but eventually reopened as the public library in 1980. From grave site to school to library!

The nausts appear on the second edition of the Ordnance Survey map and probably date back to the end of the 19th century but they may be older. Used for protecting boats during storms and the winter months these safe havens are constructed with stone walls and facings on the foreshore and cleared channels leading to the water. Today they are still used, mainly for recreation including small fishing boats and paddle craft.

This carving of ‘The Devil’s Head’ was originally placed into the old stone bridge over the railway at Riverford when someone committed suicide by jumping off in front of a train. When the new bridge was constructed and realigned in the 50’s by R.J.Macleod, it was felt that the carving should be reinstalled into the new bridge.
