Archives and former World War One drill hall destroyed in blaze

A former World War One drill hall which housed historic archives, including old photographs, has been destroyed in a fire.

The building in Coigach, north of Ullapool, had later served as a village hall before it was recently turned into a heritage centre.

The property was gutted by an early morning blaze on Monday.

Iain Muir, chairman of Coigach Heritage, said a “considerable amount” of archives had been lost.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
