These pages
are dedicated to the memories of the families of Stratherrick, Strathnairn
and Dunmaglass. The Fraser, McTavish, MacGillivray and
other families lived and died in this remote area of the Scottish
Highlands. Many of these individuals were prominent in the fur trade
in North America, becoming the fur barons of that era. Numerous
families emigrated to Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Australia,
and South Africa. Information pre-1800 is for the most part very
sparse. We all have our genealogical "brick walls",
and these pages are dedicated to solving the mysteries. This site is ALWAYS under construction Last updated 05/08/2008 Please contact me with your family history, and or stories Check out our Discussion Forum A Country Called Stratherrick by Alan Lawson, now available for purchase
" A new
edition is now available of this fascinating portrait of the area south
and east of Loch Ness.
First printed in 1987, sold
out very quickly, and much sought after second-hand, the new edition has
added 16 pages of colour prints and more material from Alan Lawson’s
research.
Tracing the evolution of the
area from the stone age arrival of man, through the formation and
destruction of the clan system, to the 20th century, the book
explains developments in a way which can be easily related to the
landscapes and people which we see here today. It is a fascinating read,
and a reference source to return to time after time.
An essential buy for anyone
with connections to the area. If you are not interested in our heritage
now, you will be by the time you have read it! "
