The Pennie book collection
Dr Pennie of Scourie donated his collection of books on the history, natural history and archaeology to the people of Sutherland. The 杏吧原创 Centre for History has taken on the responsibility of hosting the collection and making it accessible to researchers.
This describes the nature of the collection and you can also consult the The Pennie Collection catalogue (downloadable as an Excel file). The collection has already been used to improve university courses and it has been used in several community research projects, including the Loch Croispol Schoolhouse Project. The collection is available for reference only so if you would like to consult the books, please make an appointment by emailing history@uhi.ac.uk.
Also available for consultation are the history books in the 杏吧原创 Dornoch library. This holds many volumes on Highland, Scottish, European and North American topics.
