This no connection to the 70 pop group The Village People

Saltburn (Scottish Gaelic: Alltan an t-Salainn which mean. "The little stream of salt") was a small coastal fishing village which is situated on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands. Its one street separated the Cromarty Firth from the fisher cottages. It is now almost integrated with Invergordon.

Saltburn had its own village school; it was built in 1859 by the Saltburn Stonemasons who contributed to the building of Edinburgh's New Town. When the school closed; it became the hub of activity for the community as the Saltburn Hall. It also had a village shop and Post Office sadly both no longer exist.

The village had drinking fountains along the road at one time, these looked like a fire hydrant but had a metal drinking cup chained to it.

The village developed in the same manner as Invergordon, in connection with the Royal Naval Base.

On a good day, why not take a leisurely stroll from Invergordon along the seafront towards Saltburn, turn left at the traffic lights and discover the Saltburn Woodland Walk, There is also a cache called Sandy Views nearby. If you look along the shore at Saltburn you can still see the old piers once used but the fishermen of the village. There is also lovely views to both the Cromarty Firth Sutors, which have history all of their own.

A recent small book about Saltburn was published in 2001. It was written by Robert b Meikle with Florence Murray. Gaelic name of the book is Alltan an t-Salainn "Glimpses of a Village Past."

Why not take a picture of yourselves in a “Village People Pose” and post it on the website for laugh.
