Creraig, Hughton, Beauly
« on: Thursday 14 August 14 17:55 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know if Creraig, Hughton, Beauly is an area, or a farm?

Would anyone have a map?

I am researching a family who lived here in the late 60s with the name MacMillan.
Researching the names Mckenzie / Mackenzie from Ross and Cromarty especially Scoraig and Rherivach.

The names Fraser, MacGillivary and Grant from Daviot & Dunlichity.

The name of Fraser from Lanarkshire.

The name of Bell from Northumberland.

The name Chilla / Chylla / Chyla from Poland.

Visions of Britain   www.visionofbritain.org.uk

click on and put   beauly  in search and click on
click on map as specified for "other historical maps"
click on 1945 -48 map (penultimate map)
then scroll SOUTH along river Beauly until you hit "Hughton, Eskadale Ha. and Easter Eskdale"

There's an area marked "Crerag" - possibility?

(Bit convoluted to follow - apologies)

When I was a little girl in Inverness, my Mum and I used to visit a lady in 56a Ballifeary Road.
My Mum always called her Mrs Gair.
Mrs Gair died on 05 May 1967, and some months later, my husband and I were given the opportunity to rent 56a Ballifeary Road from a family called MacMillan, who my mother said were cousins of ours. We were still living there when my son was born in January 1969.
It was only after I started doing family research that I discovered that Mrs Gair was in fact a sister of my Uncle Dan. Uncle Dan was married to my mother's sister, Christina, but strangely enough, I can never remember Aunty Christina and Uncle Dan ever visiting Mrs Gair.
Also, through my family research, I discovered that Mrs Gair's death was registered by Albert MacMillan, great nephew, Creraig, Hughton, Beauly.
I have also discovered that when Mrs Gair died, the house at 56a Ballifeary Road was left to Albert's mother, Dolina Paterson (MacMillan). Dolina Paterson was the illegitimate daughter of Jean Mackintosh, and Jean Mackintosh was in turn a sister to Mrs Gair, and also to my Uncle Dan.
I also have memories of visiting Dolina and her son Bert at the farm at Creraig.
Don't you just love family research.

My Grandparents lived at 13 Culbirnie, Across the Road From Creraig, I remember meeting Bert & His Father Sam when quite young, On occasions when we were up on Holidays from our own farm near Turriff in Aberdeenshire.
I cannot picture Dolina.
Bert did a lot of Agricultural Contracting Work away from Creraig for lots of other Farmers.
My Mother remembers the Family before that, at Creraig, their name was McRae.
