Just been looking around the Heritage North website and there is a mention of the Glengarry Heritage Centre which appears to hold some local genealogical information.

It's on the A87 about a mile or so west of Invergarry, just past the new cemetery...

It's the community hall that opened up in May 2006.  I was there for the opening along with many, many residents of the area and MPs Charles Kennedy and Danny Alexander.

It has historical information moreso than genealogical information.

What is it that you are after?

I am not after anything, I just posted the quote because I thought that it could of interest and use to people from outside the area.

Yeah, Martin.  There are a number of members of the local historical society who work at the  Visitors Centre in the rooms set aside for local history.  It was thoughful of you to mention it.
