Hi, I posted a message on the list a few years ago about my Great Grandfather's shop in Evanton....I also had an old photo with Back Street, Hilton Of Cadboll written on the back, that's because his shop was in Hilton not Evanton as I was wrongly told! My Great Grandfather,George Davage, had a small shop and lending library at Hilton which he sold in 1959 to a Tom Macleod. I'm planning to visit Hilton next year and wandered if the shop is still there? Kind regards, Sharon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Sharon, Unfortunately there are no shops in Hilton now and only two in Balintore, the neighbouring village. Actually all 3 villages Hilton, Balintore and Shandwick just run into one another and if it wasn't for the street signs, you wouldn't know where one ends and another begins. Can you scan and email the picture to me personally rather than to the list as you can't send attachments through Rootsweb (it avoids virus attacks) and I will show it to my cousin Dolly who lives in shore street as she would have known your great grandfather. She is in her 80's and has lived in Hilton all her life virtually. I live 3 miles from Hilton at North Cadboll.
