Smith home in 1900s


This is the house that Norman's mother Jean lived in just before she married William McLaren. I went to see around the garden for the first time, early in the spring,wondering what the view was like from there. I am sure it does not look the same now but I like to think of Norman's mother coming back to visit her brothers after she got married in 1905.

It is a long distant view and now it is quite noisy as the A9 is close by!
and in the garden is this lovely bench!! Maybe she sat here with her children!
I also spoke to Karl at the archive and the film we found of the Mclaren family in the garden in Albert place is being copied by Screen Scotland. I am really looking forward to seeing it!
