Captain Ewen James Brodie of the Cameron Highlanders was killed by a German sniper in Nonne Bosch Wood, Ypres on this day in 1914. He joined the regiment in 1900, aged 22. He became Lieutenant in 1902 and Captain in 1911, the year he married Marion Louisa Stirling of Fairburn, Ross-shire. Her father, Major William Stirling, had been killed the previous day

After storms and a prolonged period of heavy rain, most of the Flowerdale Bridge, near #Gairloch, was demolished on this day in 1981. A temporary Bailey bridge was installed a few days later until repairs could be made and a new bridge was built in 1986
