Folks, a pic' of the mail-coach! :D

Back in the day, take the train from Glasgow's Buchanan Street station to Tulloch station then tell the the mail-coach driver to let you off at Strathmashie and an hours walk to Crathie for your tea!

Bests,
Skoosh.

Best post I have had in a long time. Very educational and inspiring.  Great job!

I agree, been following too.

Skoosh, did you get a £30 seat on the coach?

My apologies to the original poster for taking part in hi-jacking the thread and drifting away from Angus and Margaret MacDonald in South Uist! :)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Missed the hurl in the coach Annie, been re-reading a book published between the wars "The Land of Lochiel!" by  T.Ratcliffe Barnett, a few Laggan chapters including "Crathie of the Peats!" available online for about £5. A good wee read but not a bad landlord in sight.

  Apologies also for the hi-jacking!  ;)

Bests,
Skoosh.
