Welcome...  to my web site, first created in 2002, now completely revised in March 2011

I’m a native of Gargunnock, my ancestors, on the male side, having reached here from Balquhidder (McLaren Clan country) via Blairdrummond over the past 250 years or so.  Local history has become one of my hobbies and I have a large collection of pictures, documents and stories which I want to share with others.  This web site is my way of doing so.  

In its previous form the site provided a service to numerous people from home and abroad.  Now it’s bigger, more comprehensive and I hope easier on the eye than before.  I hope you enjoy  it
