I'm sure that Barb won't mind me posting this photo of hers !
With both Girvan and McArthur families having Campbeltown butchers from ±1798 to ±1990..., Neil McArthur of the Garden Shop mentioned recently that the butcher in Longrow was called Alisdair McArthur. (where I was taught the "art" of unsellable, bendy sausages at the age of eight) On the other side of the street can be found a bicycle shop…, this is where I rented my bicycles to cycle to Southend, Machrihanish and elsewhere. (through that passageway at the time, there were hundreds of bicycles !
)
http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&source=s ... 31,,0,3.31 Dalaruan: Although my Grandmother, Mary Martin McCuaig MacArthur b 12th Jan 1895 had moved from Dalaruan Terrace where she was born, to 53 Longrow when she married Malcolm Black, I nonetheless, have memories of walking down Dalaruan Terrace…, and as you all know, it leads down to the Loch. As such, the first photo on this thread gave me the idea that the McArthurs lived somewhere in that group of houses. But using some logical grey-matter, normally, the family had half-a-mile of houses to live in.
Nonetheless, this photo from Iowa, USA shows that the 1901 census mentioning Dalaruan Terrace might have only been eight houses long…, before it became a street !
