Ross & Cromarty / Re: Annat old burial ground
« on: Monday 17 May 10 22:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Thought I'd post a message too as I have read this thread with interest. I am (also!) descended from the murdoch macgregor / isabella macdonald line. My line moved across to nairn from gairloch and stayed there abouts untill WW2, though I don't know why they moved there from gairloch.
(work opportunity i suppose - but then how would they have heard about it - it's a long walk to Nairn!?!) Fun to speculate.
Following a visit to girloch it is apparent that the macgregors aren't a common name around those parts these days, and I've always wondered how they came to be all the way up there. I haven't been able trace further back than alexander macgregor / christian morrison - if anybody has any info further back, please get in touch.
Kind regards to all,
Stuart
