: Engagement day, 3rd March 1939, for Rosemary’s parents, Ina Grant and William MacGregor. The picture is taken outside Eileen Cottage at Lower Inverfarigaig. Rosemary was born here. The cottage was owned by Mary Grant, Ina’s sister. Dr. Lamont insisted that the birth took place here as the midwife lived in Foyers and the winter weather meant that travelling further afield was unsafe.
