The 90th anniversary of the opening of the Doll Hall was celebrated last Saturday with a heritage walk, an afternoon of reminiscing, and a rousing evening ceilidh.
Special guests at the evening event were longest residents of the Doll, Wattie Macbeath and Rae Neal, and the youngest, Mac Sutherland.
It is hoped to create a community timeline and exhibition of shared memories of life in the Doll in days gone by.
