Interesting details of the former Nairn Workhouse that was situated in Balblair Road and demolished in 2000 halfway down this webpage, including a list from the census of the unfortunate occupants in 1881. This observer remembers, whilst working at McD's down the Carse in the early eighties, being sent up to search for a timecard amidst hundreds of thousands of others stored in the building, part of the former workhouse was hired out for long-term storage of documents.
