I am researching my family Tree and stumbled upon you wonderful site. My father, John Cameron was born at Achluachrach in 1911. His mother Sophie (Sibla) was a single mother . The census for that year has her family residing at "The Gorge". His place of baptism is also "The Gorge.Was this a house, farm or a local area? She was from a large family and I was pleased to see my dad's uncles Archie and Tommy in one of the shinty photos. We left Fort William in 1957 and emigrated to Canada. I have lost contact with any living relatives. If anyone has any information I would be grateful. Posted by Allan Cameron on 20 May 2012 Best trip ever, thank you! Have been to Roybridge for a week in July 2011, located with some friends at Na Tighean Beaga. Enjoyed this trip and the hospitality of you people so much, will come back for sure. Thanks again! If anyone would like to see some photo shows and pictures of the trip, search for "Highlander MC" on Google or youtube. Posted by RĂ¼diger ( Rudy) on 24 February 2012 Looking Back by Jennifer Skaife Stumbled upon this website and was immediately transported back in time. I lived at Acluachrach from about 1964 - 1970 ish and attended Roy Bridge School with Sheena MacRae. We used to get the van together to school. I now live in the USA. I would love to find out more about where everyone is these days and would be happy to get emails from anyone who remembers me or my Mother Kathleen who worked in the Kitchen at Roy Bridge Hotel , Glen Spean Hotel and was a an active part of the WRI for quite a while. I remember playing Angel Gabriel in the Nativity play at the church, wearing a remodeled tablecloth and tinsel halo, singing 'While Shepherds watched their flocks'..... and it snowed. Many distant memories I am now in my mid 50's, working in New England, and still love Highland Ponies.I went on to Lochaber High, then onto Breadalbane Academy in Aberfeldy ,I left Scotland in 1974 and finishing my education in Birmingham. Posted by Jennifer Skaife on 23 December 2011 Jennifer , When I started this website , I asked my Sister Christine who was the 1 person you would love to hear from and find out where they are now , She said YOU so this will be a lovely early Christmas present for her Posted by Peter Gow on 23 December 2011 Hi Jennifer Great to see your email. I have already sent you one back. Posted by Christine Gow on 23 December 2011 Wonderful to hear from you, Jennifer.

Rosie Posted by Rosie Turvey (Vallely) on 22 January 2012 Rosie, Christine, I did get your emails and delighted to hear from each of you!! I am in the middle of moving from California to New England so been dreadfully busy. I will reply to your emails when a little more settled which will be soon I hope! Jennifer Posted by Jennifer on 22 January 2012 Catherine Tatler Hi , I had a friend , Catherine Tatler who I met when she visited her grandmother in Weymouth during the 70's. I know she lived in Roybridge at that time. Would appreciate any information about her. Posted by Nigel Pritcard on 10 November 2011 Nigel - I for some reason seem to think Catherine after leaving Roybridge lived in Jersey , Dorset and now Portugal ? Her father Roger was my Cub / Scout Leader Posted by Peter Gow on 10 November 2011 Thanks Peter for information , Catherine talked about going to jersey, sounds like she made it and then further still Thanks Nigel Posted by Nigel Pritchard on 13 November 2011 Gunner John McKillop (died 1917) - World War One Grave photograph Dear Roy Bridge Community I am a PhD student at the Galsgow University's Dumfries campus and an old photograph recently came into my possession which I think would be of interest to your community. This is of a simple wooden cross from the Western Front for a Gunner John McKillop. I have traced his name via the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website and have found out that he died of wounds on 24/08/17 and is buried in the DOZINGHEM MILITARY CEMETERY in Belgium. He is also metioned on the grave of his parents and sister at the Cillechaoreil Roman Catholic Burial Ground at Roy Bridge. The photograph must have been taken soon after he was laid to rest and before the soldiers there were given white headstones. I am trying to find out if there are any descendents of Gunner McKillop so that this unique photograph can be returned to them. If anyone is related to this man or is aware of any of his descendents who mght be living in the Roy Bridge area then coud they get in touch with me.

I would love dearly to hear from you- my daughters e-mail address is deirdrefiddler@hotmail.co.uk Thank you for getting in touch Helen MacDonald nee MacKillop Posted by Helen MacDonald on 06 October 2011 My late father Willie MacKillop was the nephew of the above mentioned, we have some memorabelia that my father had in the house.
