It has eighteen houses and around 50 inhabitants, and a small post office which is open on Thursdays 11:00-13:00.

Jemimaville was also the home of writer Jane Duncan in her later years, being near "The Colony", which is the "Reachfar" of her novels.

These British warships had been warned of German submarine activity in the Cromarty Firth, and fired shells at shapes that were suspected to be the surfacing U-boat, but were more likely to be an innocent dolphin or wave.

Jemimaville took the brunt of the shelling, and a ten-month-old baby, Alexandria McGill, nearly lost her leg when the second floor of her house collapsed on top of her cradle.

She limped for the rest of her life, and the only compensation she received from the Admiralty was a silver rattle inscribed A Present to Baby McGill from HMS Lion, October 1914.
