Hi Ali
Wow thanks for that bit of information ~ only to say I am sadden to hear it was burnt down and was never rebuilt : (
Sure will look at maps but a little unsure as to how to determine which would have actually been their house
Was there a name to the farm to indicate that this actually was their home from the many others that were also built the road side of Delachule ?
So if I was to visit Tomintoul then go on down military road to Delachule would I find it to the left or the right of the road
I will check the maps as asked but a real history lesson as yours is just so wonderful and I can't thank you enough for the knowledge you have given
On checking on google there is actually a pre-fab house single floor still in use today and if this was the temporary house that was then built
My grandfather was born 1917 but there are brothers and a sister born before him
So all of this could go to explain as to why I can not find their births they could well of been on the move because of this fire
Sadden but at the same time glad to receive some kind of news on it
