Dunrobin Street, Helmsdale: history, buildings and people

Timespan Museum, Helmsdale

Helmsdale was built in 1815 by the Sutherland landowners to provide employment opportunities for the displaced tenantry in the developing Scottish fishing industry. Dunrobin Street became the commercial centre, with shops and hotels running the length of the village, with interconnecting lanes leading outwards in all directions. Join us for a virtual tour of the buildings along Dunrobin Street, uncovering their history and the people connected to them. Guest local contributors share stories and memories.
