Lanarkshire / Re: Trying to piece together my "orphan" grandfather's story
« on: Saturday 12 October 24 13:41 BST (UK) »
My Grandfather was in the same orphanage in Kinloch Rannoch at the same time as your Grandfather. My paternal Grandfather was orphaned out there from Glasgow and worked for the Laird and Lady on the Dunalastair Estate where he was trained to be a Forester. He was born in Milton, Glasgow in 1900. We do not know what happened to his parents. We took him up to Kinloch Rannoch when he was 71. I was 13 at the time. He showed us the cottage where the boys stayed and we went to the derelict mansion house on the Dunalastair Estate where the Laird and Lady lived.
