Kincardineshire memories
SHEWAN , Banchory Ternan Parish
My genealogical journey has brought me to Banchory Ternan Parish of yesteryear ...
Two of my Shewan-surnamed folk were born there : William Shewan in 1883 , and one of his sisters Isabella Shewan , in about 1885.
Two of my New Zealand - born Shewan relatives made the nostalgic journey to Banchory just a few years back ie about 2006. There at the local library , they learned that lots of Shewans still live in the area ...
Fernie Brae Cottage
I was about 3 when I traveled from Bagshot in England to Lumphanan to visit my grandparents, Barbara and Tom Davidson. They lived at Fernie Brae Cottage and were tenant crofters and wood cutters. My mother, Beth Davidson lived there as a child with her siblings Charlie, Sandy, Dorothy and Sheila. She married my father in Lumphanan and my brother Malcolm Davidson Berry was born at Fernie Brae. My clearest memory of that visit was of a lovely little stream which ran along the side of the road, now apparently nothing more than an overgrown ditch. The little stone cottage still stands today and is even specifically marked on Google Earth. I live in Australia now but still feel a very strong connection to my Scottish ancestry and in particular, to Lumphanan and Fernie Brae Cottage.
Betty Robb
Does anybody have any memories to share about my mother? She lived at Waterridgemuir Cottage, Sauchen. I am hoping there may be someone who may have some relatives that may remember her, she was called Betty Robb, this may be as far back as 1940.
Betty
Dose anybody have any memories of Coryhaul, not sure If I have spelt it properly - it is a farm in Courgaff. Also Roadside cotttage in Courgaff, my Mother lived here in the early 50's and I think she worked for the Forbs.
Times Long Gone
My memories of Rickarton go back to wonderful times spent with my great aunt and uncle at Roadside Cottage in Rickarton. Uncle Willie was the postie and aunt Bella managed the chickens and the bees. I remember walking to Murgie (A farm) to collect milk and tickling trout in the river. My family mostly come from Stonehaven (Carron Terrace) family name Clark. We are now spread all over the globe and I have not been down the Slug Road for 30 years but have such happy memories
Waterridgemuir Cottage
Dose anyone have any memories about my mother Betty Robb who lived at Sauchen at Waterridgemuir Cottage?
My Sister's House
We used to have some great times at my sister's house in Auchenblae (Monboddo). Her name is Sandra Deans and her husband John and sons, Matthew, Oliver and Lewis all lived there for a few years and we used to go and stay for long weekends. I remember we were there when Princess Di's funeral was on tv all day, we all sat glued to the box watching it silently - it was very sad! There were horses kept in a paddock at the end of her road which I used to enjoy feeding. My nephew Oliver was convinced that there was a 'hat tree' growing in a field near the house because he lost a hat in the dark one night and someone had hung it up on the bush so we told him it was a hat tree and that lots more hats would follow! Funny at the time (and when I think about it now). Cheers, Colin
