Hi Alan
Yes, Carol and I do know one another...her grandfather Andrew and my great grandfather James were brothers. I alerted Carol to your photo. I have been to Cruden Bay twice and I know that there is a church on the outskirts of Cruden Bay where my great grandmother is buried with 4 infant children. I also noticed nearby her grave were James Robertson and Barbara Masson, my great great grandparents. My great grand parents lived in a place called "Hillside Cottage" down near the harbour. Is it still standing?

Seonaid,

I came across this post and recognised the photo as Cruden Bay.

I think the photo is next to one of the old sheds that used to sit opposite the cottages on Harbour Street.

My grandparents (Rennie) lived in Harbour Street and the shed opposite their cottage was taken down a number of years back.

I have attached another photo of relatives (Nicolsons, Robertsons & Massons) that was taken next to the shed that was taken down....it must have been taken in same street and around the same time. 

I'd be interested in knowing if you have managed to find out more about the photo.

Regards,

Alan.

Hello Alan
I am writing from Australia. My Great Great grandparents were James Robertson who married Barbara Ann Masson (?). I believe that if this is a photo of them. They are related to me (?). James's son was also James Robertson (my great grand father) who married Isabella Summers. He died and is buried in Australia. His wife is buried in the church yard that is out of town, along with 4 infant children. James came to Australia as a widower with 6 remaining children in 1924.
