 Resurrecting the conversation on Catherine Cameron from some time ago and wondered if anyone had been able to make any progress on the family of Mary Boyd and Allan Cameron who came on the " Utopia" to Portland 1854 from Ardgour Scotland.
Believe that Catherine married Donald McRae and remained in Portland. Deaths in 1906 and 1908 TROVE appears to be this Catherine and Donald.

Corriebeg is on the north side of Loch Eil,  between Kinlocheil & Fassfern, a farm by a railway crossing on the Fort William-Mallaig line.

Skoosh.

I think we're looking for the same family lines here, "Camerons" etc, in and around the Fintry area of Stirlingshire.  Many of the names/places and dates mentioned in this post tie in with my research/my family tree, including the name "Binnie". 

Happy to share everything I have.......

Fintray is a small village in Aberdeenshire. But I'm wondering if whoever filled out the papers misspelled that place name and it should in fact be Fintry which is in Stirlingshire.
There is also a Fintry on the northern outskirts of Dundee, though that probably has nothing to do with this query.

Fintry, Stirlingshire https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NS6186
Fintry, Angus https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NO4133
Fintry, Aberdeenshire https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ7554 plus the aforementioned
Fintray, Aberdeenshire https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ8416 which are two different places.
