  1. Back on track with this thread, although the Archive Center at the Bught do not have any photos or plans for the orphanage I was in for a visit last week looking at the records for the children that were there from 1915-1922 over 100years ago. On family history on my wife's side there were two families in the orphanage at that time the first were on the 1921 census and the parents who were not married split up for reasons unknown and five children were left as orphans, they all left the orphanage age 14 and would have gone to work and married and had a family in later life. The other family was a very sad case both parents married and had seven children born 1905-1917. The father a ploughman died in 1918 and the mother died in 1921 leaving a very young family. The mothers death was registered by the eldest daughter age 16! The five children went to the orphanage in 1922. The oldest sister died in Culduthel Hospital in 1930 while her two younger brothers were still in the orphanage the others left and likely working from age 14. Some of the family that I have found went on to marry and raise their own family but Donald the youngest was not so lucky. After his father dying when he was one and his mother when he was four he would have spent ten years in the orphanage before finding work an a place to stay at fourteen years old. He was called up in 1939 to war serving with the Seaforth Highlanders and was killed in France in 1940 aged 23. Times were very hard back the for all.
