Glenferness Memories
A Memory of Glenferness Ho.
My grandfather Robert Shaw and then my uncle also Robert Shaw farmed Tomnarroch Farm at Glenferness from the 1930s to 1960s. I spent many many happy times at Tomnarroch. Used to cycle there most weekends from Nairn. Remember cutting peat on the moor on the Grantown Road near Glenferness, helping with the hay and the combine harvester. My uncle used horses until he bought a tractor in the early 1950s.
My uncle Bob also had a liking for poultry and I used to help prepare the birds for the local farming shows, shining their feathers with a silk cloth and putting rouge on their combs and giving them a "manicure".
Regards from my Tomnarroch Farm in New Zealand, Min Walker nee Davidson
