?Glenbuchat Plane Crashes

Hello, Would anyone know of the location of the 2 planes that crashed in the Glenbuchat area in 1940. 1. On the 31st January 1940 an Airspeed Oxford on an excercise from Lossiemouth crashed, the only location I have is the Glenbuchat area. 2. On the 24th. August 1940 an Avro Anson on a training flight from Lossiemouth crashed injuring all of the 5 crew on board, the location is given as, high ground in the Bridge of Buchat area.. I would be interested to find out if anyone knows of the exact location of these 2 war time accidents. Thanks, Jim Allardice email replies to info@glenbuchatheritage.com

Wonderful Site

This is my first visit to your Guestbook although I frequently visit the site. My grandfather, Archibald Gauld (son of William Gauld 1858-1933, grandson of William Gauld 1807-1895) was born in Glenbucket. After discovering that brothers and a sister of both Williams emigrated to Canada, I am uncovering a wealth of information about the Gaulds in Canada and am in contact with some of their descendants here. Please fell free to contact me if you have an interest in the Gaulds and if anybody has any pictures of any of the Glenbucket Gaulds I would dearly love to have copies of them. My mum only has two pictures of her dad. Thanks.

My First Visit

This is my first visit to this wonderful site and I will be back. My grandparents and their families came from the area and hopefully I will be able to add a little more information to the archive. My granny was Bella Ritchie b 1901 at Kirktown Glenbucket and she married Alex Wilson b 1897 Braeside of Clova, Auchindoir, at Linthaugh Lumsden in 1921

Great Find

I come from the Inch family and see many names that belong to my family tree. Have just started using this site and look forward to browsing for many happy hours.

I come from the Mcrobbie clan going back to madaline Strath. Have a large tree ,which I am willing to share.Great site

Keeping History Alive

What a lovely site. It has provided a great source of information about the Glen and my ancestral home at Peatfold (Dow). It has also allowed me to share some of my own pictures of the Glen with others interested in the history of the area.

Fabulous site

I am thrilled to come across this site. I had traced my family roots back to the mid 1700s but I now have more information to add and I can go back even further. My sister and I visited Strathdon a couple of years ago to see if we could find anything in the kirkyard but to no avail. The link is Drumnagarrow, the Strachans, the Thoms and the William family from Towie. Well done to you and all the contributors, this is a fantastic achievement.

Excellent site

My grandfather was born in Glenbuchat & I have very much enjoyed exploring this site for that reason alone. Congratulations for all the hard work that has so obviously gone into it.

Well Done

Delighted to come across this site. My Mitchell/Grassick ancestors come from hereabouts. I only visited once in 2003 and didn't know where to look except at Bridge of Buchat where Margaret Grassick Mitchell died at the home of her daughter Mary Ann Wilson. Couldn't see any ruins there. Good to see the photographs of Corriebreck though.

Glenbuchat is my favourite place in the world, the only place I feel totally at 'home', despite never having lived there! Wonderful pictures and amazing history behind this magical glen.

Love this new site,my ancestors came from Glenbucket,we visited 3 years ago,loved the area and the people,we now live in Hampshire.My family name was DAVIDSON,they also lived at the Mill of Belabeg,and Belnaboth.If anyone knows anything about them see e mail below.Archibald & Charlotte are buried in the Kirkyard at Glenbucket,their stone is still standing.

Congratulations from the Alford image Library

May I be the first to congratulate you on setting up this excellent website, perhaps the second of what may become a cluster of such websites recording the history of the local area. I hope that you may add a link to Alford Image Library (www.alfordimagelibrary.com) and of course I will be only too happy to reciprocate.
