Its a while since I have been on Roots Chat , but while reading the postings came across your entry and thought I could clarify a few points for u. Firstly I suspect Bridge of Scaur is not in the hills above Durrisdeer as mentioned on 14th.May, 06, but is in fact in the neighbouring parish of Glencairn, as this is where the Scaur burn is between the villages of Penpont and Moniaive, I have looked on the Ordnance Survey map Land Ranger sheet 78 1:50000 but could find no reference to it, although it may be where the main road? crosses it. This would tie in with the act that Robert Rae and Margaret Lorrimer came from Tynron which is in  the parish of Glencairn. The only reason I know this is because I originally came from the area.Also u may b interested to know ther is also a Glencairn Kirkyard and church in the parish. Trust this is of some help, as the saying goes 'Better late than never'.

Hi Lynne. Sorry to take so long to reply to yr query abt e-mailing  the photos of Carronbridge hav been caught up in other things. Hopefully it should be possible to e-mail them as I ve had them enlarged and framed(not the frames). If u could supply me with an e-mail address that would b great. Rgds Peter
