Hello,
I'm looking for the occupants of the home next to the Bridge of Brown. It might be a tea room and craft shop today.
Bridge of Brown, Tomintoul, Ballindalloch, Banffshire, AB37 9HR
My orphaned McDonald ancestors were taken in by a Maggie Grant. They lived with her from about 1907 until about 1920. The only other information was that Maggie Grant was a Spinster.

Sadly, the 1901 Scottish Census is only available on the pay to view site Scotlands People. You can only search the index by surname, not address.
Regards.

Maybe a different approach would be to look for deaths in Tomintoul of Margaret Grants. Between 1920 and 1956 (cut-off date to view images on line on SP), there are only two deaths showing of a Margaret Grant without additional surnames (normally implying they were married):
1946 GRANT MARGARET age 69 @ KIRKMICHAEL /BANFF 160/01 0003
1943 GRANT MARGARET ANN age 60 @ TOMINTOUL /BANFF 160/02 0006
I'll have a quick look now at the 1891 Census (available through another index) and see if anything jumps out.
Regards.
Monica

Two main households coming up in the 1891 census, with a Maggie (rather than Margaret) so happens!
Margaret Grant 42, postmistress, b. Kirkmichael
Maggie Grant 13
Alexander Grant 10
Donald Grant 5
Address: Bridge of Avon, Kirkmichael
and:
John Grant 64, Farmer and Registrar
Jane Grant 50
John Grant 20
Mary Jane Grant 18
Peter Grant 16
Charles Phillips 15
Elsie Maggie Grant 14
Catherine Isabella Grant 13
William Alexander Grant 9
Charles Grant 7
Address: Fordmouth, Tomintoul, Kirkmichael
Both households seem very respectable and upstanding! Whether they are the right Maggies, you would still need to verify. Hopefully, you have some additional info for background.

Sorry, not an expert on the local cemeteries - hopefully someone else can comment.
Regards.

We have known close family (McIntoshes) living in a croft very close to Bridge of Brown, Banff, only a few miles from Tomintoul) and we have also found the curious young 'boarders' from Glasgow. In this small area in 1901 we found there were 17 Glaswegian youngsters:
14 children at school boarding with a total of 5 families, one 2-year-old and 2 lads aged 15 working on farms.
So we would be very interested if anyone can find out how this came about. It's a different matter from the WW2 evacuees which was a govenrment scheme.
