Glenbuchat Heritage

Middle joiner is William Henderson, born 1880 in Glenbuchat, died 1959 in Aberdeen.
He is my Uncle, and son of John Henderson and Jane Murdoch.

Worth noting the Square and Compassses in the middle window. I remember walking down the Crags from Beltimb to Jim Davidson's shop, in the late 60s. It still had a hand cranked petrol pump. He also owned the shop at Bellabeg, which is still trading and had a van that went round the glens delivering groceries and all sorts, at a time when not everyone had a car. He sold the shop, moving to Alford and continued with a picture framing business till he retired. Happy Days!
