Hi Monica,
throughout this year I worked through Nana and Grandad’s children with my dad who died a few weeks ago.
Between both of my grandparents I believe there were 23, although there are varying stories depending on which of the surviving children you ask.

I can check in the Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archives after the holidays, if you like, to see what they have…

Es, condolences for your dad. Will be hard this first Christmas for you all.

That would be brilliant, I have a couple of newspaper clippings regarding overcrowding in the family home, but I would love to know more about his illicit still!
He was married and is buried with Margaret and I believe he married my nana Catherine McLeod in 1952 who had previously been married to Donald McPhee

It will be an odd year to say the least, he loved Christmas.

Sounds like quite a character! I'll let you know what I find, if anything.
