Munlochy
Primary School window, 2007/08
The
left hand panel features a view of the village, looking west from the
bay. It includes the old water mill, an important building from Munlochy’s
past, with some of the buildings of the main street behind – one
of these still provides an important service for local people as the village
shop. Standing over these is the school spire with the restored school
bell highlighted against the fertile fields of the Black Isle. As farming
and forestry are the main uses for the land around Munlochy, I have included
Hill o’ Hirdie Wood (home to the Clootie Well) in the background.
In the foreground, some of the crops grown locally which would have been
milled in the past, i.e. barley, oats, and wheat.
The right hand panel shows a view of the bay, looking east from the village. As Munlochy Bay is now a nature reserve, I have chosen to feature some of the birds which make it their home, i.e. a heron, curlew, shelduck, and oyster catcher.
