I am seeking the address of Ian Ballantyne soon to be 77 years old (his wife is Sheena), formerly of 54 Abbey Drive, Glasgow, G14 9JS with whom I've lost contact. I suspect they may be living at Inverness. I last communicated with them in 1993 at the above address. However, I have verified through Glasgow that they have since moved. They often visited their daughter, Lynn and son-in-law, Alasdair in Inverness. But, I do not know Alasdair's surname. Lynn worked as an Art teacher at the Drummond School for handicapped children, I assume at Inverness. On my last trip to Scotland (June 1993) they were on the same airplane. We all spent several days together. Due to bad weather we were stranded in Chicago, IL for an extra day. They are a grand couple. He was a retired professor of Architecture at the University of Glasgow. We visited with them in Glasgow and also at their childrens' in Inverness. Any help is appreciated.

Does anyone have a clue about the place names of LOCHEARRAN or GAIRLOCH and where they might be located? Most of his siblings seemed to be in GAIRLOCH by 1833-34. Would that be very far from INVERNESS? Gairloch is about what, 100 miles North West of Inverness as the crow flies and about 3,000 by road. (just kidding.) It is on the North West Coast of Scotland in Ross and Cromerty, <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~sctroc/index.htm">Ross and Cromarty Scotland Genealogy</A> you can click an go here to search for relatives. Gairloch is a lovely little village on the Minch, the water that separates Skye from the main land. The main road runs along the waters edge. Gaelic is still spoken in and around Gairloch and most of the houses, which are pretty well in rows and connected, or very close glisten when the sun hits them as they are painted in the black and white. Just as you come around the corner there is the Gairloch Hotel, there is also a book shop, a grocers and telephone exchange, (well that may of been replaced in the last few years), a fish shop a post office of sorts, and a police house up the road. Everyone knows everyone and it is a grand place. You can fish or collect wilks, mussles, limpets, etc., from the sea and you can roam the hills all over the area. The roads are very small and things go pretty slow in that area being that, "God in his infinite wisdom knowing how important time would be made so much of it." Oh and there is a school house. Most of the families there have been there for several generations, although there have been quite a few new comers of late. Hope that helps a wee bit. Dave M. PS for more research go to <A HREF="http://web2.airmail.net/samhradh/">Radio Celtic Home Page</A> and just click the Scottish Flag. I am hoping to make a connection with some descendants of the MCGREGORS that might still be there or at least connect him to the right bunch. >>

Does anyone know of a web site or mail order business where I can buy tartans in 100% cotton. Thanks. Judy

The Higginson Book Company publishes a catalog of family histories and in the back it is a section entitled, "The Great Historic Families of Scotland." It lists the following: Frasers of Lovat 20 pages for $5.00. Frasers of Philorth &Saltown 3 pages for $3.00. The section states the these family stories are by a scholarly 19th-century historian, James Taylor. The Higginson Book Company has a website. I have ordered many books from them and they are reputable.

My ancestor John Martin was a member of Kilmuir parish on and was born in Stenscholl Skye. He left with his family in 1826 to live on Prince Edward Island, Canada. I know the LDS records for Kilmuir parish begin in 1823 and I haven't found any records for my family in the three year period between 1823-1826. Does anyone know if any Kilmuir parish records exist before 1823? Also, are there any known family histories of the Martin family in Skye which might be available? I read somewhere they were a branch of the MacDonald clan and wonder if that is true. Julie Martin

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query on Fraser of Lovat. I will definitely be taking your advice and doing the lookups in Burke's Landed Peerage! Sophia
