I believe Willie lost an eye breaking a large stone when a chip shot up - or so my father told me.
A hard working man in his time and I remember him as roadman around Cromarty in the 50's.

Wasn't there a gentleman with only one hand name of Mcphee? Would it be Wullie's brother? Comment left on 30 May 2010 at 17:04 by Mary Mackay now Tomlinson Harrison
