Riach & Younie families, Moray and beyond

[Forfarian]

Just to throw my hat in this ring, I have two daughters of George Riach and Elisa Proctor in Rothes who married two of my Leslie relatives.

Also William Younie (1914-2006), son of James Younie and Catherine Innes, married a relative of mine.

If anyone is interested in their descendants, please let me know off-list.

Hi -
Wondering if any of you have any insight or information into a Margaret Younie of Knockando, born in 1777, who married John Proctor of Boharm (I think).  If you do, or are interested I can give you branch info for their children and so on.
- Proctor

McCallum Scotch

Just in case anyone is looking for this online, it is Macallan not McCallum

and in Scotland we don't use the word 'Scotch' as a noun and seldom as an adjective. That means that while we might talk about 'Scotch whisky' or a 'Scotch egg' or 'Scotch mist' we never say 'Scotch' on its own when we mean whisky. It is always taken for granted that if you order a dram or a whisky that you mean Scotch whisky. If you want any other sort you would probably specify the brand, though as I've never committed such a heinous sin I wouldn't really know

three pubs in three different cities (Edinburgh, Inverness and Stirling) simple question, "What's the best whisky I can buy?"  One, only one answer at each pub, "MacAllan."

speaking of which ... there's a lovely 15 year old waiting for me in my kitchen
