Saltburn's Past mural

Saltburn's Past is a striking mural that captures a slice of local history on a wall in Invergordon, just a short walk from the town centre. The artwork tells the story of the area's industrial heritage - salt production that once defined this stretch of the Highlands. It's a proper bit of community art, the kind that gives you a real sense of place without needing a guidebook.

The mural itself is free to see, obviously, and you can spend as long as you like looking at it. Five minutes is enough to take it in properly, though history buffs or anyone interested in industrial heritage might linger longer, photographing details and reading the accompanying information if there is any on site.

It's not a destination in itself - you won't travel three hours to see a mural - but if you're staying at Newmore Highland Pods nearby or exploring Invergordon, it's absolutely worth a walk down to view it. Works well as part of a broader afternoon wandering the town, grabbing something to eat, and getting a feel for what made this corner of the Highlands tick. The mural sits nicely alongside other local attractions, giving you proper context for why Invergordon developed where it did.
