  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.

As a bit of fun, we have also added an option to rate the referee .... Please make sure you vote for 3 separate players. If you make an error, let us know so we can fix it. PLEASE ONLY VOTE ABOVE IF YOU WERE AT THE GAME or WATCHING LIVE STREAM or TV Anyone caught trying to cheat the system WILL be banned from voting in ALL site polls...this is your only warning. **NOT at the game ?** As a result of requests received, we have made a slight change to how these threads work for site users who listened to the full game live on the radio ....... You too will now be able to cast your votes, but should do it in the thread below, and NOT in the official poll above. Just list the three players of your choosing and award 5,3, or 1 point(s). You can give the ref a mark if you want too ! These votes will NOT be counted in the official total, as we only count votes from those who where actually at the game or viewed live streams, but it IS a way for you to participate in the process .... which many people asked for .... a happy medium we hope !!!!!

  10. And the ironworks site will now go to rack and ruin as the hotel company has pulled out and the Ironworks company have turned down an offer of using the building again after stripping everything out! Our Highland Council is working wonders for the City and the Highlands.
