Dear Scottas - just a quick message

We are related, my great-grandfather Alexander Mcphail was your great-grams brother

I think she married Ernest Morgan

I have an extensive Mcphail family tree

Sorry about rushed message but moving house at the moment

Excited about your post

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner - but it is a busy time for me etc

Anyway...I talked to my dad today and he remembers quite a lot of McMasters - some of whom are related to us.....

So - here goes around 1900 one of the McMasters married one of my McPhee's in Knoydart and then moved to Salen/Ardnamurchan area - where they still are I think - the children were Iain and Duncan McMaster I think - my dad remembers them coming to various great-uncles funerals in the 1970's and 1980's - does this ring any bells?

I will send you a full family tree when I get my act together.

Apart from that.....

Kilchoan graveyard(s) - they are 2 circular stone enclosures - are in the middle of a field - normally inhabited by highland cattle or deer - but they are fairly well kept - certainly the "modern" stones etc.

Sorry that this information comes in drips and drabs but I am busy and live in Spain!

More later

I have just seen your post, just back from holidays, - hope you haven't left for knoydart yet!

My experience is mainly with Kilchoan graveyard - where most of my relatives were buried.

Kilchoan is fairly well kept, with many 1800's and later stones legible. It dealt with people from across knoydart i think.
My grandmother, now dead, told me that both at Inverguseran and Barrisdale there were older burial grounds
on small islands I think, but I have no idea what state they are in or when they were used up to.

My family are mainly Mcphails, Mcphee, Mcdonalds etc in Doune, Sandaig, Inverie etc.  My grandmother, born 1912, grew up in Inverie/Alltmhoulin/Scottas and I am sure she went to school with some Mcmasters and Stewarts - I'll see what I can dig up!

best regards

stuart
