This project was conceived in the summer of 2005 on a visit to Melness. I met family I hadn't seen for many years as well as old friends. In the course of conversation, old stories and family memories came to the fore. I realised that I was the last surviving male of our Morrison Family that had been born in Melness. I also realised that I had taken for granted what I though I knew about my family, however, a visit to the cemetery made me aware of how little I knew.

I started to search on the Internet, but almost nothing about Melness was listed, so I decided I would do something about it and registered Melness.org.uk and began researching. I had hoped to have the site up and running at the beginning of May, but the design has taken much longer that I estimated, consequently there is not as much material on the site as I intended, but each day will bring something new or should I say old.

I would love to hear from anyone who has any link with Melness or any of the small townships that make up Melness. I intend to create a comprehensive site about Melness, its people and their History and their present activities. I would also love to find out more about the history of Melness and hopefully find some old photos of the village or its inhabitants that can be included on the site. I will also provide a forum page for any discussion about anything to do with Melness. Click on the Help Page to see how you can help me.
