 Hiya  Thought some of you might might be interested in this.....


Chris Earl formerly of the Manor House, Skene Street, Macduff has donated a large drawer full of negatives taken by Bodie c1950, it is understood that he got these from Bodie photographic shop in Banff 3 or 4 year ago.  These photographs (Around 500 - 600 of them) show portraits, weddings, family groups, babies etc.  About 150 of these will be on display in the Buchan Street Hall, Macduff 29th May 2011, 1-5pm.  We have very little information on the photos, other than some have the surname written on the envelope containing the negative.  We have posted some below, and may upload some more later, if we get a big enough response. 


I have found two pictures of my Grandma and one of her sister!

None of my lot unfortunately, mind you they were more Portsoy and Fordyce and tended to get their photos taken in Cullen. Great photos though. Clearly the photographer had a way with the customers. Some lucky person will surely benefit from this find!

I hope someone does benefit GDub71  ( Shame non of yours were on), if a few of our fellow rootschatters show interest in the photos, the company might post more on the net increasing the chance of someone finding a pic of a relative ......what I would do to get my hands on that box of negatives
