Over Christmas my aunt passed on to me some family documents and I'm now trying to track down related leads. My ancestor Catherine Blair is supposed to have been born around 1763 at Inversnaid (Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire) to an Andrew Blair from Aberfoyle. His family is supposed to have been around Loch Ard for several generations. Catherine's mother may have been a descendant of Rob Roy McGregor (the geographical area concerned is certainly correct for a McGregor connection). A later generation in the family mentions a cousin Andrew Blair who held the lease to the Rowardennan Hotel and who family members visited regularly. I've been able to track down this Andrew Blair as having died on 10 Nov 1876, age 78, with his parents named as Andrew Blair and Agnes Blair. He is buried at Aberfoyle and the MI appears among those published by the Scottish Genealogy Society. Andrew Blair (younger) married Elizabeth Stewart in Kippen/Aberfoyle around 1823/1824 and they had a number of children born in Callander/Buchanan who I have been able to trace at hotels in Inversnaid, Rowardennan, Callander and Aberfoyle, and who are also buried at Aberfoyle. Based on this, Andrew Blair (who m. Agnes Blair) may then be a brother of my Catherine Blair. I'm now looking at the Blairs in Aberfoyle in general to see how/if they connect and would like to hear from anyone else related to these Blairs. Any info specific to my relatives of course will be particularly welcome! Thanks.
