Struan Bank, Victoria Road, Dunoon
« on: Saturday 23 December 23 22:05 GMT (UK) »
My grandparents came from Glasgow, and I know families from Glasgow went to Dunoon on holiday, so I wasn't too surprised to find my family in Dunoon on the 1921 census. My grandmother, grandfather, my mother and one of her sisters at Struan Bank, Victoria Road, Dunoon.
But then I got a surprise, because on the valuation roll for 1925, my grandfather is listed as a tenant for Struan Bank, as well as 9 Taymouth Street, Glasgow.
Again, on the valuation roll for 1930, he is again listed for the two properties.
What was all that about?
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.

Second or holiday homes are not unique to today’s culture. From what you have so far it is entirely possible that they liked the place so much they decided to maintain a permanent contact. Unfortunately this is one of those occasions where the actual records are unable to tell the whole story.
