    Thanks, Chris. Interesting, isn't it, that just a year after the battle the military map reveals such faulty memory? Or was the Jacobite line altered somewhat for reasons beyond our knowing today?

    Wow, nice photos. Thanks for posting this thread.
    I've read about this unfortunatly never been able to get there, (yet), one day hopefully. Tain as well.

    I know there were Jackobite supporters in Clan Ross.
    Does anyone know if there is any reference to them at the site?

    Jock,

    Thanks for posting the pictures and for the information. Hope to get there this summer or fall. The fair wife and I believe we each lost family there, possibly or probably on both sides.

    You are looking well, sir. Hope you continue to do so.

    Best,
    Dan

    Thanks, all, for the timely remembrance. I have been there once, in high summer, I had a very similar feeling of the place. I commend it to anyone with a connection to Britain, and I hope to see the new visitor centre one day.

    Thanks for posting the photos. My wife and I are planning a trip in the fall. My known MacGillivray's hailed from Skye, but your Clan is your Clan!
