When we were there last year we found that many of the Public Libraries - certainly in the main centres ( Inverness etc) had E-mail facilities and that there were also Internet Cafes scattered around the various towns. An inquiry usually lead you to one but, be careful, some of them are in bars and THEY are quite expensive to use. The only problem I did find in one place was that they would not allow you the use of the facility unless you were a member of the library. York, for instance also had this proviso, but also allowed you to take out temporary membership for the cost of five pounds which was refunded at the end of the specified time. Others libraries need to adopt this method for the international traveller, too. Hope this helps, Herbert. ----- Original Message ----- From: <FraserMacK@aol.com> To: <SCT-SUTHERLAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 8:53 PM Subject: Re: [SUT] going home---off topic > Lochinver also has an Internet cafe sans cafe.

I understand that anyone can have temporary registration to use the internet facilities of Highland Council located in their public libraries. There is no charge for this, but watch out for limited opening hours, and no coffee! Regards, Denise Sutherland
