Drunken View, Castle Road, Invergordon, Ross-shire, Scotland: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in the 1920s, presents a breathtaking view of Drunken View, Castle Road in Invergordon, Ross-shire, Scotland. The name 'Drunken View' is believed to originate from the winding, undulating nature of the road, which appears to zigzag along the rugged terrain. Invergordon, a historic town located in the Scottish Highlands, has a rich maritime history. The town's strategic location on the Cromarty Firth made it an important naval base during both World Wars. The Castle Road, which winds its way up the hillside, offers stunning vistas of the town, the firth, and the surrounding countryside. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the daily life of the people who lived and worked in this beautiful yet challenging landscape. The horses and carts, which were the primary means of transportation, can be seen making their way up the hill, their drivers undeterred by the steep incline. The trees, which are now fully grown, were once mere saplings, and the houses, though well-preserved, have weathered the test of time. The 1920s were a period of significant change in Scotland, with the country undergoing modernization and industrialization. Yet, despite these changes, the beauty and tranquility of the Scottish Highlands remained unchanged. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Invergordon and its surroundings, a place where history and nature come together in perfect harmony.
