No Gordon. The booklet that you want to ask for is called "Migrating MacLarens" A study of families leaving Lochearnhside 1761-1901.  The authors were Marcia Margaret MacLaren and Archibald Allan MacLaren who were related to the families of this house.  Ask the society for a copy.

Hello,  I dont have pictures however the old cottages along the road on the A85 (now Castleview) were part of the Achraw crofting area and there is a road up the back with name Wester Achraw. A house positioned on this map shows Wester Achraw house in that area.  Achraw Brae is now modern houses but on the old achraw farming land.  You will see our holiday Cottage Little Briar" pinpointed on the map and the old thatched cottage in front of it.  Old maps spell Achraw as Achra

Gordon just noticed your query re Catherine.  Archibald and Margaret King had a daughter Catherine who died 21 jan 1867.  Her sister Margaret married a John Bain and they had 6 children one of them being called Catherine. This Catherine married Donald McLaren and they settled in Dalviech and had 3 sons, Donald Archibald and Duncan.   The 2nd Catherine was born 8 sept 1842 .

Hello.

I am the present owner of Briar Cottage(Which was called Easter Achraw until Isabella McLaren renamed it in 1900). We live in the B listed restored longhouse and have a stone holiday cottage on the grounds. Our website www.stayatbriar.co.uk does have a picture of the thatched cottage in the gallery and some in my blog on the site.  I just noticed your post from November last year.  I have a booklet from the Maclaren society that mentions 200 years of the McLarens that lived in this house. I was visited by the niece of the last lady to live here and she recently provided more information about her aunts and uncles. The booklet names Archibald and Margaret Kings birth and marriage dates plus information on their six sons and 3 daughters.  It discusses the migration of the McLarens from Lochearnside including Dalveich, Wester and Easter Achraw.   I am happy to share anything that I can(even though I am Clan Donald by birth).  There is an old McLaren burial site at Leckine where some of your ancestors are buried.  Also, try www.clanmaclarensociety.com.  Email me at (*) with any specific queries ,names and dates if I can help Archibald bSept 1761, d 1840's m 14 jan 1797 to Margaret King b 4 Feb 1776 d 1840's
