Comments

My granduncle Alexander Bain and his wife Williamina Miller are buried in Fodderty Burial Ground, Section B, Plot 672a. He was cemetary keeper there and lived at Rose Cottage, Fodderty; but on a visit to Strathpeffer no one could tell me where Rose Cottage was. He died 1st September 1953 and Williamina in November1943.

Jean, there is a Rose Cottage in Strathpeffer itself - follow the road opposite the main shop up the hill to Ardival & it is right in front of you. But my husband has a vague memory of cottages on the road turning left on the main road from Strathpeffer to Dingwall just past the old Fodderty School & thought there could have been a Rose Cottage there. That would make it even nearer to the cemetery.

Regards...Judy
