Geology of Edderton Parish
The bedrock of Edderton is composed of sandstones and conglomerates (pebble and boulder beds) belonging to the Old Red Sandstone formation. These rocks are of Devonian age, formed around 400 million years ago in a large inland lake that extended from Easter Ross northwards to Orkney and eastwards across the area now occupied by the Moray Firth.
By now you should have received the above leaflet from Highland Council saying that they will be starting kerbside collections from March 2009. In January you will get a separate wheelie bin (blue) for the stuff to be recycled as detailed in the leaflet: one notable exception is glass. This bin will be emptied once every four weeks. Does this service meet your needs? There has been no consultation with the community so Edderton Community Council would like to hear your views. The officer responsible for this scheme has promised to attend the next Council meeting on 13 August. She can be contacted at the HC offices in Wick or at
