Dounreay

 

Stephen Cashmore turns back the pages of Caithness history more than 40 years to describe the land deals at Isauld and Lower Dounreay that enabled the county's atomic era to get under way in earnest. This a short series based on the personal papers of the late Donald Carmichael, the first administrative officer at the AEA's Dounreay site.

This series of articles have also been sponsored by the UKAEA for publishing on the Internet within the Highland Archives Web-site
