The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Formation, of the Callovian and Oxfordian stages (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic.

In 2005, members of the Clyne Heritage Society (CHS) monitored structures eroding from the dunes on the Back Beach, south of the harbour.

This was a pilot project for the Shorewatch programme, which aimed to train community groups to search for new archaeological sites and record information on them to be passed on to local and national archives.

CHS members found a map, dated 1812, which depicts ‘Old Salt Pans’ marked at the position of the eroding structures.

MacLeods Coaches from Rogart also operate the 906 service through Brora heading to Helmsdale one way and Lairg the other way several times a day during the week.
