Within Cooee Of Craigellachie
A Memory of Craigellachie.
Alexander (Sandy) Jackson URQUHART was an apprentice blacksmith at McLean's Garage in the small village of Maggieknockater. He later left his apprenticeship to join the Metropolitan Police in London, in 1929. Maggieknockater was quite close to where his parents' croft/s was/were situated. The crofts were named Shians and Greenhill, and were within walking distance of Balnellan, not far from Craigellachie. The crofts may have been on land which was part of the Arndilly Estate. The remains of at least one of these two crofts can be seen, albeit surrounded by forest. The modern-day address would probably be:
Balnellan, Craigellachie, Aberlour, Moray, Scotland.
