I see that Reginald Tupper Carnegie was born in Stornoway in 1917, married in Troqueer in 1939 and died in Dumfries in 1972.

The 1940 valuation roll lists seven Chance Inns.  One each in Crail and Ceres (Fife), Belhelvie (Aberdeenshire), Kinross, Errol (Perthshire) and Inverkeilor and Tannadice (Angus).

In 1940 Reginald T Carnegie was proprietor and occupier of a bungalow, Brae Rannoch, in Terregles Road, Troqueer. He was charged with wasting fuel in 1944 and his address then was given as Braerannoch, Terregles Road, Dumfries.

Thank you for this information I didn't know where  Reginald came from. I did however know about the bungalow.
Thank you

Is there any chance of you scanning the photo and putting it up.

Photo of Chance Inn perhaps around the 1950's.

 I am only going by the information given to me sometime ago that they were occupiers of a pub/Inn in Dumfries. I think this information could be wrong.

Thank you for answering my messages.
