From the contributions to the ‘Carpenter Photograph’

Hi the joiner on the right is my grandfather’s brother Colin Macgregor. He emigrated to Toronto, Canada with a few of his other brothers plus their sister Lena. Unsure when they left. My great grandfather and family are buried in Strathdon churchyard. His name was Colin as well

Middle joiner is William Henderson, born 1880 in Glenbuchat, died 1959 in Aberdeen.
He is my uncle, and son of John Henderson and Jane Murdoch.


It is thought that the man standing in the doorway is Andrew Rennie as he was known to be a very tall man
