The little child in the photograph is me, taken outside my grandfather's house in Cullipool, Luing on the Isle of Luing. My grandfather was Duncan McEachnie, my grandmother was known on the island as Bonnie Mary. I would dearly like to retire to the island some day and enjoy the peace and traquility for the remainder of my life. Unfortunately we (the McEachnies) no longer own any property on the island due to grandmother's error in selling property. My own parents Angus and Elizabeth McKechnie along with most of my ancestors are buried in the local cemetery, so I visit frequently, some day I hope to have a home there for me, my daughter and my very much loved grandchildren Luci and Oliver who can continue to enjoy island life as much as I did. I have a copy of this photograph on my wall. Maureen Margaret McKechnie McFarlane.
