Neil,
Are you related to William MORISON who lived at Callumkill in 1881? I think
he was a brother of my g.g.uncle's wife, Helen "Maggie" MORISON. The
g.g.uncle was Dugald JOHNSTON.

<< This reminded me of something I wanted to ask about. About 15 years ago my

father took me on a walk from Callumkill (a farm close to Ardbeg where my

grandparents lived) to visit a natural well/spring in the side of a small

hill. It was supposed to be a place where people visited for good luck when

they got married, and indeed there were several horseshoes and other wedding

bits and pieces around the well when we found it, some of them old some

seemingly fairly recent. >>
