The ancestors

Mackays, Mackenzies and MacLeods, outside Aird Cottage, Beauly (I think), c1930 when my grandparents lived there.  I wonder what the event was, to get them dressed up in their Sunday best outfits.

  1. Is any one of them hanging thegither right? Considering you’re off them, you did no bad. Did they all get lobotomies for their 21st birthdays and well as getting all their teeth taken out. Happy bunch.

  2. Is the future POW in the photo?

    Good looking house.

  3. Hotboy – My good looks must come from the other side of the family.

    Rob – My Dad is front row, far left. His Dad is back row, far right.

  4. You look more like your grandfather.

  5. The Mackenzies had issues with teeth. Thank goodness no-one inherited the Mackay jerk.

  6. Roddy, do you have names for all of them? I only recognise Dad, granny, grandpa, Lizzie, Paggie and Johnnie. Which ones are the Mackenzies?

  7. Correction. There are no Mackenzies in that photo. They didn’t want them photographed, for obvious reasons.
