Does anyone remember the Film Guild ? If you would like to share your memories with me for my research project on the History of Rural Cinema in Scotland then please do get in touch. I would be pleased to hear from you.

Hi,congratulations on the site ,I wonder if you can help me,I've come to a brick wall with my husbands side of the familytree,his great grandfather married Jessie Rose at Bolskine 1887 her Father was David Rose And her Mother Mary Fraser, I've been unable to find a birth for David who was a Master Gardener at Farraline and of Balnoe Farraline,he was born about 1824 as was Mary, on their marriage record her Fathers name is Simon of Tomich no mothers name and he was a mason there are no details for David, would anyone know anything that might help me get ba little further back in my research.Also on Davids tombstone it mentions Balnoe is there any history to this? as I can only find a ruin.I hope you can point me in the right direction,regards Margaret

I read with much interest details provided re. above;many of the names bring back pleasant memories of fine people many known to me as a boy. I note that my aunts Margaret Aitchison and Charlotte Aitchison are not included in your list. Please do no take this as a criticism, it is just an observation. You are doing a sterling job.
Best Wishes,
Tom.

I have family ties to Fort Augustus and one or two items that might be of interest which I'll communicate to you by email.
