...and the drummond hall barns sounds like some sort of hostel.

I think it might have been the barn on a farm.

See here www.oldscottish.com/kinclaven-1911-census.html  It mentions:

Drummond Hall Barn: Goode (5), Mcguire (1), Mcintosh (4), Norman (1), Watson (1)
Drummond Hall Bothy: Culbert (1), Forsyth (1), Sutherland (1)
Drummond Hall Cottage: Buchan (4), Gilmour (2)
Drummond Hall Farm: Campbell (1), Dow (5), Garvie (1), Ireland (1)

yes that is them, the goode family, would that be common to live in a barn with a young family? it is rather unsettling to imagine, fred died two years later in hamilton

the parents of my gran were frederick good (coach painter) and elizabeth simpson (pedlar), two older siblings born in aberdeen and alva.  the odd thing is that my grans death certificate gives an exact date of birth, although i suppose that might just be a guesstimate. and the drummond hall barns sounds like some sort of hostel.  the two older sisters i have the birth certificates from scotlands people so it is odd that i cannot find one for my gran

that was my thoughts as well, my granny couldnt read or write,her sisters as you say were born in different parts of scotland and the family did seem to move location regularly.  i have tried using the fathers surname and various surnames the mother claimed to have, also just a christian name search for the whole of scotland.   i really did think it was a legal requirement to register births in 1909/1910 though.  strangely the name kay means something to me!!

the 1911 scotland census shows my granny age 1 at this address with her parents, two sisters and half a dozen other people.  they appear to be unrelated, and my great gran is down as a pedlar.  my problem is my grans death certificate gives a date of birth but i have been unable to find anything at all on scotlands people.  is it likely that a birth would be unrecorded in 1909/1910 in scotland?

You should be able to access her records, as she died over 100 years ago.

The University of Dundee Archives - see https://www.dundee.ac.uk/archives/ - holds the archives of Sunnyside Royal Hospital.

The inpatient records are catalogue reference THB23/4.

The staff records are reference THB23/6.
thanks for the pointer, i have filled out the enquiry form to see if i am able to have this information.
appreciate your help!

hi there, clementina christie died 6th may 1921 of myocardial degeneration. 1911 census shows her at  her original family address in stonehaven but death cert show usual residence as the address of her brother who registered her death(also in stonehaven). this has been bugging me for a few years now, suppose i will just have to be patient and see if the 1921 census sheds any light on my g grans younger sister.

i have a relative born in stonehaven who died at the royal asylum montrose age 48, in 1921.  her occupation was given as housekeeper.  can anyone point me in the right direction to confirm whether she might have been an inpatient or actually employed as a housekeeper.  death was registered by her brother who lived in stonehaven and she is buried with her parents in stonehaven.  many thanks
