  1. Great to hear from you Alistair and thanks for commenting. Which house did you live in in Ardentinny? Must have been around the 1930s? – David

  2. My name is Alistair Cameron. I now live in Australia. I grew up in Ardentinny and lived just along the road from where your grandfather lived. At age of 13 I worked with your grandfather, Jock McIntyre, employees of the forestry commission. Enjoying this website. Hope to visit Scotland including Ardentinny later this year if I can, I am 92!

  3. My grandad was Jock McIntyre. It’s nice to see this. My father is his son Hugh.

  4. Hi there,

    I was looking at you wbsite, which is wonderful, and noticed that you have a postcard published by my cousin, Mathew Gardner. I am currently researching our family history and wondered if you had the original postcard and any other information whih has not been published on your website.

    I have some information which I would be happy to furnish if you wish to get in touch.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Regards

    Janet
