Memories of Inverness-Shire
RAF Dalcross
This Airport was, in 1951/52 when I was there, RAF Dalcross. It was here that I did my advanced flying training on Airspeed Oxfords and won my "wings".
Two members of our course were killed while flying from here. Many happy evenings were spent at the bar in the Caledonian Hotel in Inverness, and I spent Hogmenay 1952 enjoying the hospitality of many kind Scots.

It Was no Surprise
It was at Insh carnival where my disabled wife and I and our two month old daughter went, simply to spend a few hours from our home village of Inverurie. There were the usual sorts of entertainments such as pipe bands and the tug of war teams and other attractions of which I do not remember too much about: but there is one thing that I will never forget; some woman was to announce on the tanoy that there was going to be a beautiful baby competition; where it was asked if there were any mothers that would like to enter their babies! My wife came up to me and asked if we could enter our daughter Sarah Natasha in the competition? I told her no with a capital (N) meaning absolutely not! My wife asked me why was I so against our daughter being entered into the competition. I told her that even though I knew our daughter was beautiful, there were other mothers and fathers... Read more
Inverernie
Inverernie lies within the boundaries of Farr and Strathnairn. I remember when people used to call Inverernie by its correct name and not the misspelt 'Inverarnie'. The shop also used to have the correct spelling on display.
However, the biggest change has been the number of new houses which has gone up in recent years. Inverernie used to be good farm land, but now it has plenty of houses with new families coming into the Strath (which is mostly welcomed). Inverernie continues to grow, who knows how big it will become.
