My friends grandfather Jospeh Allan was one of Lovats Scouts in the Anglo Boer War — I cannot find any trace of where he was born and wonder if it could be in your records. Also there are so many Joseph Allans. I can find no shipping records of his arrival and return to and from South AFrica
thanks so much for your help on this
gratefully
Diana Armstrong
We hold no records for the Lovat Scouts, you could try the Highlander Museum Fort George they might be able to help or point you in the right direction
Good morning,
I have been reading an article of yours regarding the bombing of the aluminium works. There is mention of a Donald Fraser the factory foreman who sustained an injury to his left foot. He was my great-grandfather, I read this article out to my mum, who had never heard this before. Her mother was Donald’s daughter, who left Foyers during/after the war.
I just wanted to say thank you, as it was so interesting to have a snapshot of something that had happened in Foyers, especially as it had a mention of an ancestor of ours. One day, I hope to be able to visit Foyers again, having only been once as a child.
Yours
L Trett
Does anyone know about a missing boy incident that happened in Dores in 1949. I am told there was a newspaper article about it at the time. So far, searching microfilm of various papers in the area at that time has yielded nothing. Hoping someone may offer a new lead or additional information. It would be much appreciated.
Good morning. I recognise two people in the school photo from Foyer 1916. Can you give me an email address so I can send a copy of the photo with the two people circled
Thank you

Hi there can you tell me if you have any knowledge of any stones that were lifted as a test of strength. Usually on coffin roads but not always. Many thanks
