Thank you for this video. Two of my great grandparents emigrated to Australia from Inverness, so it has been very revealing to me to view the scenes of the City. Especially interested in the scenes around 1850s as those views are the way my gt grandparents would have remembered their homeland . How brave they were to venture so far across the sea to a new strange and unknown future. The surnames were McDonald (of course) and Mc Larty. .I imagine that Inverness is well stocked with Mc Donald’s but am not sure how common Mc Larty is. Thank you again and my very best wishes and warm regards from Victoria Australia. Stay safe.please.
Vidéo sympa sur Inverness que j’ai connu en y atterrissant grâce au simulateur MSFS et que j’ai visité grâce à RU-vid. Ville agréable des Highlands où se trouvent de belles distilleries qui permettent de voyager sans bouger de son salon grâce à un verre de leur whisky. Mais quelle drôle d’idée de donner à un pont le nom d’une défaite 😉.
Did I say anything about not travelling anywhere or experiencing life in other places? I stated that it's the place where I was born and lived my life.
@@L3GIT2MISE Do you remember Miss Mackenzie who kept the small shoe shop on Baron Taylor Street? A lifelong friend of my grandmother's, and she was very kind to me as a child. When we used to visit her shop she would give me a new pair of shoes, which was a big help to my parents in the austere post-war years. I remember riding on the big red Highland Omnibus double-decker as it crossed the River on the grand suspension bridge, and I remember being taken to visit very old relatives in Raigmore, which in those days was just a collection of big huts. Above all I remember the community spirit that the place had. It was a modest town back then and it has changed beyond belief now. I suspect that old sense of community is long gone and people are all strangers to each other. Still, you will know better than I. The photos here tell us about the place, but it is the people that make the place.
If like myself, you were born and brought up here and think it's a community effort, then you are NOT a good example! If you are still here, all the best, and please think before you speak, don't be a negative d*ck! Most of all, start being a better member of the public. 🫡
In 1905 my parental grandparents married here in the Wee Free church. They live in burnside Cottage, Leachkin. They had 4 daughters and one son - my dad born 1926
