I would like information on James Thomas MacDonald Matheson and wife Annie Blair McLeod. They married in 1897.
If possible I would like information from the previous census - 1891 for Annie Blair McLeod and parents. I believe they lived in Duirinish, IofS.
Thanks so much

Hi
We have just returned from a holiday in Skye....(wonderful!)...while we were there we visited the folk museum at Kilmuir....
On display were lots of files with details of local people, census', church info & schools etc.....
They are lovely people there and I am sure if you wrote to them they would help with your research !

Thank you very much for the census info. It was new information to me. I did know from other records that he was a "hotelkeeper". but that was all.
Is Duirinish a very small place with just one Inn? Or is it Stein?
I'd love to visit, do you have a picture of the Inn?
All the best

Duirinish or Durinish is the most north westerly parish in Skye, containing the village of Dunvegan (castle, McLeod, "Fairy Flag" and all that).
Stein is a very small village, - approx 6 mile N of Dunvegan, a short distance off the B886, on the shore of Loch Bay, - there can't be more than max 10 buildings.
I probably have a photograph, but that would be from abt. 23 years ago, and I've no idea where to start looking 
But I can do better than that!, - see http://www.steininn.co.uk/Virtour/intro.htm, and make sure that you click on the virtual tour, and then on the inn in the first panorama........ and then, whenever you see a thin red frame, click on that again, to see inside the Inn.
There can't be many people who can cruise the web and see where an ancestor was the innkeeper in this level of detail !! ........"In its present state, the Stein Inn dates from 1790, although parts are known to predate this, making it the oldest inn on the Isle of Skye. If only stone and mortar could speak, what spell-binding tales could be told of old clan battles and daring escapades!", never mind tales of smuggling, ancient and very modern, - although latterly drugs rather than tobacco and brandy.
Memories, memories !!, - excellent evening meal, - fresh seafood, - a world class accordionist, - and sipping a 25 year old Talisker outside while watching the sun set over the Outer Hebrides 
The then owner operated an interesting policy, - if he didn't like the look of you, the accommodation was fully booked!!
I've visited the estate in the Borders where one of my great-grandfathers was the butler, and introduced myself my saying "Excuse my knocking on the door and disturbing you, but I'm the butler's great-grandson"!, but you can go one better !!
