Partly as a result of this blog, and partly just down to the reach of
the internet generally, I have established contact over recent years with a
number of second cousins. My grandfather Rob McW(1873 - 1931) was one of 12 siblings – or 13
when we include Robina, so the number of 2nd cousins is pretty big,
and they are well scattered around the world.
A few of us managed a get-together recently, with a visit to The Grouse Inn in the Cabrach, Glencorrie farm and Mortlach churchyard, followed by a fine meal at the Stuart Arms in Dufftown.
The catalyst for this was the visit of Ann from Canada (g-granddaughter
of Helen McW), but we also had descendants of Alex (Dennis and Barry), of Janet
(Ian) and of Maggie (Helen and Sheila) as well as Morag, Josh, Jorja – and
myself – as descendants of Rob.
It was an excellent day all round, and I hope there will be some more of
these to come.
Here we are at the Stuart Arms.
And some of us up at Glencorrie earlier in the day.
