Alexander MacIntosh, 61, crofter, b. Clachnaharry, Inv
Elizabeth, 63, crofter's wife, b. Inverness
Mary Ann, dau 32, laundrymaid, b. Clachnaharry, Inv
Mary Ann, grd dau,11, scholar, b. Kiltarlity
Angus, grd son, 8, scholar, b. Kiltarlity
Robert Buchanan, boarder,10, scholar , b. Glasgow
Mary Buchanan, boarder, 8, scholar , b. Glasgow
Ester Buchanan, boarder, 4, b. Glasgow
we know have to find a birth certificate for one of them which should show their parents

Esther was the easiest to find as her name is not as frequent as Mary and Robert.
She was b. Dec 27 1897 in Dennistoun, Glasgow as Esther McDougall Buchanan
Her parents were Robert Buchanan an Iron Turner (journeyman) and Letitia, maiden surname Bryan. They were married in Glasgow on 19th April 1889
We'll have to see what happened to them.

I think something might have happened - maybe the family split up.
I've found the death of an 11 month old girl, Letitia Wood OBrien or Buchanan, 21 June 1905, Dennistoun. her mother is given as Letitia OBrien, wife of Robert Buchanan, machine maker.

Nearest that I can find on the 1901 is a Robert Buchanan living alone:
15 Fairley Street, Dennistoun
644/3 ED 25 Household No. 72
Robert Buchanan, 37, sewing machine maker, b. Glasgow
It's the right age

Thanks Monica - this family seems to split up and reform
She was definitely alive in 1905 and was born circa 1867.
I've got a possible for Robert Buchanan in 1891 as a lodger, iron moulder in Govan but not sure.

We have her parents from the marriage entry so not much point in using units yet.

Esther McDougall Buchanan, aged 27, a domestic servant, spinster, married David Morton, Springburn, Glasgow on 27 June 1924.
Her parents, Robert Buchanan, iron turner and Elisha m.s. Bryan, are recorded as both deceased.
Obviously she believed this.

I'm not having much joy with The Highland Orphanage, Inverness. it opened in 1882 and was designed by the Architect Ross but that's all I'm getting.
Other hits seem to lead to this thread. 
Unfortunately, I'm not in the Highlands at the moment so can't use my local info 
It seems that they must have been removed from Glasgow at some stage in the 1890s - Esther after 1897 - and then boarded out with the MacIntoshes.
It's at times like these that we need Runner (Russell)

The best that I can offer you for details of the Highland Orphanage and any records is to approach The Highland Council:
http://www.highland.gov.uk/
There are a number of contact points on this website.
meanwhile, I'll continue looking for info on your family

I might have found Robert and his parents on the 1891 in Glasgow, Barony:
114 Canning Street, Glasgow
District 644/7 ED68 Household NO 23
Robert Buchanan, 27, gear cutter, b. Glasgow
Elisabeth, 24, b. Ireland (Letitia - Elisha - Elisabeth -also Bryan/O'Brien as m.s)
Robert, 10 mths, b. Glasgow (Census in April 1891, he born June 1890)
Parents' ages about right according to their marriage cert.

Hi there
The Highland Orphanage was located in Culduthel Road, Inverness until the late 1940s/50s. Not sure when it was established in Culduthel Road, but it was certainly in this location in 1911 according to Slater's Directory as listed on Am Baile.
http://www.ambaile.co.uk/en/item/item_page.jsp?item_id=11284
I'll have a check through a few books I have and see if I can find any further mentions.
Hope this helps!
