The announcement last month that Thursoâs former town hall will be reopened as the North Coast Visitor Centre was suitable timing. The building was celebrating its 150th anniversary since it was opened on the evening of Thursday, January 12, 1871.
When the facility closed in April 2006 for renovations, it was felt by some that Thurso had lost its town hall. To some degree, it had, as the large hall was no more.
