Hi Both
Now what are you needing - I finished University for the fourth time back in 1993, so I've got heaps of time. BUT keep that mind active 
You say what you need and I'll take a look

Hi
I went back to University after an academic/research career when I was in my early 40s and did a degree in Fine Art. I had great fun, so you enjoy it 
I'll take a look tomorrow.
In the mean time, this site:
http://www.nls.uk/maps/early/
is best for old Scottish places. I was able to find a farm that my ancestors tenanted that wasn't shown on anything else.
Just go through steadily.
Back in the morning!

It certainly is - but there are midges as Paula and I will testify to 
I'll see what I can dig out - I may have some photos tucked away.

Hi
I've been sifting through some photos that I took over 3 years ago. Mr Gadget had a residential conference at Aviemore and I tagged along for the ride. One of the days I took myself off to the funicular that goes nearly to the top of CairnGorm. It was a pretty wet day and no one is allowed outside of the viewing area at the top.
Here are a couple of photos - one a general view from the viewing platform and one a zoomed shot of Loch Morlich. The forest bits are part of the Rothiemurchus/Glen More Forest Park

Hi Pels
To give a better idea. I drove quite a way from Aviemore to get to the funicular station. This is the half way point from inside it.
It was wet

I usually only see these places from the A9 these days.
Here's another, just for the fun of it:

So Sandy - I think we have found Margaret Meldrum's Mum.
The following comes from my colleague on the Chisholm Genealogy Group:
"Looking on Ancestry last night - I tried to track down any Chisholms in the Parish of Alvie or next door Duthil and Rothiemurchus - but found a Catherine Chisholm, age 35 (1841 census), servant in the household of a half pay army officer Alexr McPherson - in Ruthven, Parish of Kingussie & Inch - so just below Alvie. Not many Chisholms in this part of Inverness-shire - Clan Chattan country I guess.
Anyway, Catherine is present in the 1851 Kingussie Parish census, now HOH, an agricultural labourer, still in Ruthven, born ~1801 in the same Parish.
Then, interestingly, she is in the 1861 census, Kingussie Parish, now mother in law to HOH James McIntosh, age 35, wife Margaret McIntosh age 31, and her grandchildren are Isabella age 13, Catherine, age 10, Jessie age 8, Donald age 5 and James age 2. They are located in Pitmain."
So I had a look for her in Kingussie and found that she died there in October 1861 a daughter of Andrew Chisholm, Labourer and ... MacPherson (no first name given).
