Quick Facts

History & Context

Black Isle Its industries today are largely fishing, forestry, farming and tourism, though life and work on the Black Isle has gone through many changes in its long history. It has supported well-established, active communities since before Pictish times. For example, there are the remains of a Crannog at Redcastle and there are several cairns scattered throughout the Black Isle, dated as far back as 1900 B.C. Castles and communities have come and gone since then, in a great many cases leaving remnants which can still be seen today. In places, some buildings and monuments have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. This is in large part due to the Black Isle's relative isolation, almost surrounded as it is with water, and for long periods of its history highly dependent on ferries for outside contact and trade.
