The online info state it was founded in 1882 - see my previous messages #10 and #11 
It would appear that the three Buchanan children were boarded out at Kiltarlity though, so they might not have been in the Orphanage for long.
The records must be at the Highland Council somewhere.
I've already put up that link.

I've looked in the books about Inverness that I have but there is no real mention of the Highland Orphanage. There could well be in James Miller's book "Inverness" but I would have to read through the whole book again but I'm too busy tracing my family tree to read right now.  I have found a great piece of film on the Scottish Screen Archive website, it is dated 1952, this is the description - Entrance to Mario's [in Inverness?] Man emerges carrying giant chocolate Easter egg, gets into his car. tracking shots from car through streets to the Highland Orphanage. Man delivers the egg to children at the door; ints Orphanage I see there is a question mark after Inverness but I can confirm this is definitely Inverness. Here's the link. http://ssa.nls.uk/film.cfm?fid=1535Lynn |

Hi Lara
To help us, could you say how you decided that Robert and his sister's were in the Highland Orphanage. So far we don't have any evidence, unless there are records available.
They seem to have been born in Glasgow in the 1890- 1897 and then appear in Kiltarlity as 'boarders' in the 1901 census and, at least as far as Esther is concerned, are back in Glasgow to marry.
Did they have any connection with the Highlands besides this?
Regards
Gadget

Hi Lara
Trying to find their marriage but nothing showing in Scotland at the moment  Maybe they married in Cumbria. Do you know the approx year that their first child was born.
I think the 1911 census might be useful in this instance
