Wow where did that come from? Even after this length of time I still remember some of the faces! I have some contact with Micheal Bell who lives in Hereford and I know Bobby Fair lives in Inverness.

Sadly, Lynn Graham, my youngest sister, was killed while horse riding in 1961 aged just 15 years.

Sorry to hear that Rosalie. Kathleen Ross in the photo is also gone, she lived next to me in Outram Street. Ian Murray spitting image of his brother Duncan.

It's always sad to hear of people you knew,some better than others,passing on.
Ian Murray, Micheal Bell and I joined the services around the same time,1959. Ian to the RAF and Micheal & I army.
Have to admit having a wee soft spot for Kathleen but, from afar, too shy then!

I remember all of your mother's family Elaine. Even their dogs name Stylo, a spaniel. I think your uncle Dodie went to sea..

I have a photo of my granda with stylo at the back door.. Yes uncle Dodie went to sea and when on leave stayed with my aunt Elsie in Alness

Elaine, it would be great to see a picture of Geordie and Stylo. Can you post on here ?

Hi there,
I've been looking into my family tree and was looking for information on my half great-uncle 'David Russell'. He was born in Invergordon around the early/mid 1940s to my great-grandmother, Williamina, and an unknown gentleman who is believed to have died during the war. The timing of this photo may match up to his time in school. The Russells also lived on Outram Street, number 3 if I'm not mistaken. If anyone has any information on David that may help in working out whether this is indeed him and finding out more about him, I'd be much appreciative! Thank you.

Hi Harry,
Thank you, I'm really grateful for this information. Do you happen to remember roughly when they left? Please feel free to email me if more convenient. Thank you.
