    3. Hi Liz, I am sorry to say Joe Broom's Inverness URL no longer exists it has gone into cyberspace, such a terrible waste of a brilliant site. I did write to Joe but received no acknowledgement. I really miss the site it was great and as you gain more knowledge you're anxious to learn more about the area concerned, but alas no more. If only he had let someone take over, that way we would all have benefited in years to come. For goodness sake I only hope someone has the ability to download and copy his Strath-Nairn  and Nairn websites, if I knew how I'd do it myself, but I haven't a website.
