Wester Ross Bikes were originally produced in Aultbea in NW Scotland. I had frame no. 110 built for me there, probably in 1979 or 1980. I still have the frame! I next heard of John Connel in Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire several years later. He was still building bikes and may have been using the Wester Ross brand.

This particular frame was, in fact, made in Scotland.
