So 5 of us so far - Arranroots did say  she was interested but she's hiding in a closet somewhere  ???


Note to self: don't tell Gadget anything you don't want disclosed on the boards later!

 ::) ;D ;D

Having a fraught week here, all my machinery is packing up at once.  My own reseach would be Black Isle mainly, but happy to do anywhere - family permitting!

 ;)

Go on Arranroots - I have very beady eyes  ;D

I was trying to provoke a response and it worked  :) :) :)

You'd love it up here - who knows, next year you'll have lots of time.

Oh I know I love it - second home! (not literally, but that would be nice)

Shame the forebears don't still have their hotel in R&C...

Crofting and Highland Clearances sound interesting Gadget as does Whisky distilleries.

My mum and dad visited one 2 years ago and bought home whisky for my brother and brother in law but none for Pete because he doesn't drink it!  What about me :( :( :( :( :(

I'd be interested, lovely part of the county, would have to be later in the year for me though, as am off to Australia in May/June to visit parents-in-law for their 50th wedding anniversary - hoping to get more done on their family history before then :)

Great idea Gadget  :) I'm just a hop, skip and jump away from either Inverness or Glasgow/ Edinburgh so I'm definately interested. I've McRae's in my tree from Inverness shire and R&C so would love to have a look round the area...have been meaning to for a while.  :)

Hi  Elaine

Nice to hear from you. Long time no speak - Aberdeen, aren't you  :)

I think we're getting a mini-bus load already (plus Keith  :D )

Looking good  :)

Not to dampen your enthusiasm Gadget, but bear in mind that there is also a projected Dublin Meet in 2007.  Might be an idea to coordinate with that?

 ;)

Yes - I'd noticed that - will check all the dates out. Could be a bit like the Manchester/Hasting meets this year.

Who knows, I might get to both - I've been to Ireland twice this year - cheap flights to Dublin and Belfast  :)

Thanks for raising it.

(PS - Dublin's very expensive  :o  - only joking, we had a great time there)
