Dear Christine, What follows may be somewhat outside the objects of the list. If it is, please forgive me. I have noticed several subscribers are researching ancestors in the Clyne area and wondered whether some might be interested in responding to an appeal for help that appeared in the latest issue of the Highland Family History Society's Journal. The appeal was from Dr. Nick Lindsay, the Secretary of the Clyne Heritage Society, who has compiled a record of the burials and wishes to add some character to the individual records. With his permission, I quote from his appeal: "I have done a complete transcription of Clyne (Old) Cemetery, substantially revising and improving (he types modestly) the previous published records in Cowper's Pre-1855 Sutherland Monuments edition. I am interested in following this up by appealing for any information that members hold about any of the people buried in the graveyard so that I can add, excuse the expression, flesh to the bones! So rather than just publishing a list of names, places and dates, I would like to be able to add some stories and some history. So if any members have information that they feel might be relevant, please contact me by letter at "Sunnybrae", West Clyne, Brora, Sutherland Kw9 6NH, or by email at nick.lindsay@highland.gov.uk " Dr Lindsay hopes to publish his project when it is complete. In the meantime, the information is in a data base and he would be pleased to respond to any enquiries from researchers who think their ancestors might be buried in Clyne. I do not have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Lindsay, but I do not believe this project is commercially motivated.

Dear Ian Your message is not outside of the objects of the list. We are interested in everything that relates. I did read this in my copy of the last journal and did wonder about it. Many of our list members have information which could help Dr Lindsay but I feel they need a bit more information about what he is doing with it. As was said to me by a private message "If it is just for the Heritage Centre that would be great". I am now going to write to Dr Lindsay and find out more about his plans. I will then publish his response on the list.
