ARE you in our latest mystery photos, or do you know anyone who is? Do you remember either of the events?

If so, you can become a Picture Detective in the Inverness Courier’s regular feature, which is run in conjunction with High Life Highland.

Am Baile (www.ambaile.org.uk) is the leading Highland history and culture website. On the site there are photos, short films and audio recordings, as well as maps, rare books and archive documents. Its material covers aspects of life in the Highlands from the 1800s right up to the present day, and the site is bilingual with information presented in both English and Gaelic.

But it holds hundreds of photos which have left its researchers puzzled as there are no names or captions attached to them.

Today’s snaps belong to the J Thomson Collection, Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, High Life Highland, which has been digitised and permission given to publish it. If you can help identify any of these people or events, email us at newsdesk@hnmedia.co.uk, or write to Picture Detective, Editorial Department, The Inverness Courier, Suite 3.04, Moray House, 16-18 Bank Street, Inverness, IV1 1QY.
