Share your own memories of Kirkton of Bourtie and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My grandfather, Robert Urquhart, was born at Mosside of Longfolds, in the parish of Bourtie, 11th January 1874. His parents were James Urquhart and Mary Ann Urquhart, nee Jackson. Mary Ann died 20th March 1876. The Informant was James Urquhart, widower. Robert Urquhart's brother, James, died 19th April 1876, just one month after the death of his mother, Mary Ann. Like his mother, James died of tuberculosis. They both died at home, Mosside of Longfolds.
