Dear Listers, Iwould be very grateful for any information on an area or farm called ''Fernaig'' near Portchcullin in Lochalsh where our family of Macraes and McLennans frequented . I have many letters written about 1920 fromCatherine McKenzie the daughter of Duncan Macrae and Janet[Jessie] McLennan from''Clachan cottage'' Durinish .to my grandparents in New Zealand.

Hi Maureen, Wondered if you had been to this site: www.multimap.com - you can search "Clachan".... Also Did you try searching on www.google.com ? I had some time and entered both 'Durinish' (Careful as there is one on Skye too)and 'Clachan'...There are a number of Inns etc by this name but if you have time to scroll thru the lists, you'll find the area (a couple of photos) that you are looking for. Have you searched familysearch for the marriage of Janet = Duncan? My relatives in R&C were: My ggg grandparents were from Stornoway. Donald Macaulay was the father of Annabella (B. abt 1810) who married Kenneth MORRISON (b. abt 1802). They married in 1833. I just thought that I would try to help you, as this list has very little activity and I had a bit of time!
