What a find!
When I was a boy – 60 years ago – I heard my Granny (Ann Leith) mention Strachur a few times but had no real idea of why. I asked my Mum just today (23/06/2021) if she knew anything. She wasn’t able to say much but knew there was a relative that my Granny visited in Strachur and she remembered that my Granny also talked about a pony and trap. Looking back at our family tree I found Robert Anderson (my Granny’s uncle b. 07/02/1862 in Mordington, near Eyemouth) who was a baker in Strachur. Google did the rest; and I found this page. What a wonderful discovery. Thank you so much.

See previous post.
Sorry; just noticed an error in my previous comment. The Robert Anderson I noted actually died as a 3-year old child in 1865. The Robert Anderson I should have noted was his older brother born 21/09/1871. (It was often the practice to name a later child after one who had died young.)
