Tain & District Field Club
'Tain and District Field Club has hosted informative and social meetings for over 30 years. The emphasis is on natural history focusing on both this local area and within the wider scientific community as well. Speakers have come from all over the British Isles with their specialties and we are a richer community for their contributions over the period.
'Tain is located in Easter Ross – that’s the eastern part of Ross-shire, north of Inverness, in Scotland. Tain is very near several large tidal inlets; the Dornoch Firth on our northern doorstep, Loch Fleet, another tidal firth lies within 10 miles to the north, the Cromarty Firth is a few miles south and the Inner Moray Firth just a bit further south and east.
'We have fine agricultural land around us in the east grading into poorer and higher soils going west to the mountains along Scotland’s west coast. The climate is equable, for the northern latitude, allowing a very interesting assemblage of endemic flora. We lie at the northern periphery of several important species of plants and animals, and correspondingly near the southern periphery of others.'
Listing Details
'For more than 30 years meetings have been held on the second Tuesday each month during the winter season ... starting at 19.30. Tea and coffee after speakers have finished allows discussion and networking, or more closely questioning the speaker of the day. Members discuss observations of the preceding weeks and bring notable events or observations to the attention of the meeting. The public is invited and encouraged to attend events, lectures and field excursions. We have a very friendly atmosphere and are as sociable as we are interested in the science and natural history presented to us.'
