Munlochy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Munlochy (Scottish Gaelic: Bun Lòchaidh/Poll Lòchaidh) is a small village, in northern Scotland, lying at the head of Munlochy Bay (Ob Poll Lòchaidh). There are few early records of a settlement, but it seems likely that Munlochy expanded in the 1760s due to quarry workers extracting stone nearby to build Fort George on the far side of the Moray Firth[1].

[edit] GM Protest

Munlochy was the site of a major community protest against GM agriculture, which led to the maintenance of Scotland's GM free status[2].
