Michael Gallon with his find.
A METAL detectorist has unearthed a rare silver coin which could help rewrite part of Ross-shire’s history.
Michael Gallon (49) says that while the value of the Napoleonic coin is relatively low, the place where he found it tells a very interesting story.
Mr Gallon, the activities manager at Skebo Castle in Sutherland, said the quarter franc coin found in a field near Fortrose and Rosemarkie means a solider returning from the Napoleonic Wars from France must have also been in the Highlands.
