East Church Caretaker Honoured for Community Service
01 December 2007
Mr Willie Hogg, Caretaker of the East Church, has been honoured for his many years of community service in Cromarty. Mr Hogg’s devotion to the East Church, opening it every day of the year for visitors and fundraising for its restoration through sponsored walks, is well known to local people and to the Trust. Now his contribution has been acknowledged more widely in the Ross & Cromarty Community Awards 2006, with a Service to the Community Award. Mr Hogg was presented with his award by Area Chairman Councillor Carolyn Wilson at a ceremony in Dingwall.

It is fascinating not only to study the building fabric and try and work out some of the stages in the church’s development, but also to look at the archaeology within the church.”
