My Grandfather John Nimmo

My grandfather, John Nimmo, was born at Duntarvie Castle on the 5th of September 1866. He farmed the land there until the entire family left and moved into Leith and opened a greengrocer's. I still have his birth certificate.

I have a photo, that looks almost exactly the same as this one pictured, taken in July of 1957, on my 7th birthday when we drove out to see the castle.
