A new date has been set for an illustrated talk on the Wick Society's Johnston photographic collection.

Volunteers Ian Leith and Fergus Mather were due to give a joint presentation at the Nucleus archive centre on Monday evening (January 15) but it has been postponed because of the wintry weather.

Instead it will go ahead on Wednesday, January 31, starting at 7pm, with free entry.

Mr Leith explained: "The Johnston photographic collection is one of the most important heritage collections in the care of the Wick Society.

"We are all familiar with the many magnificent images that depict the various people and places around the area, but do we all know about the origins of the collection and indeed the Johnston family who have left us with this fantastic legacy?

"Along with our colleagues at Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archives, the Wick Society is organising a series of talks."
