He got married and w Bellevue was let out to the NHS 1949/50. Nurse Peg Brown and her Mother lived in it until Weatherglass House had been renovated into a surgery and a home. It looks like the photo is taken from the top of The Retreat garden. There appears to be smoke coming from The Retreat sitting room chimney, so it was occupied. This is my Great Uncle from my Granny Burke Nee Walsh. He did live in Belfast and worked on the Titanic H&W as a boilermaker along side his father. They lived i I am not related to these Hossacks it seems. My Hossack ancestors were also from Cromarty though, yet I do not have this Donald in my tree. Interesting photo st Thomas Urquhart McKenzie worked as a gardener at Poyntzfield but emigrated to New Zealand in 1846. I am a direct descendant of his.

Guess I look about 3 years old so 1951/52. I have never seen the photo before so delighted to see it. Pauline & I are s This is either Jim or Jack Young in the flat cap, uncle of my father George Young. By the time we arrived in Cromarty Dr Forth's surgery was at the back of Paye House, but I believe before that it was in the Red House beside the Cromarty Arms/ I thought she lived in Paye House. Where is this? I have two pieces inherited from my granny, we used to do day trips from Inverness to Cromarty back in the days of the Kessock ferry, great memories! I have a 2 Thomas Stanton [Jordy] signed up for the fleet airarm just prior to the outbreak of the war and was posted to HMS Owl at some point during the war according to Bobby and Helen were among our favourite people during the 21 years we lived in Cromarty.
