  • Grapevine 23.Feb 2017
    Issue 23 The Grapevine February 2017 Blair Drummond Grapevine gratefully acknowledges United Auctions generosity in printing this and previous editions of this newsletter. Down our Way (An occasional series of interviews with local people) The Blair Drummond area, like any other rural area, continues to change in many ways, with new businesses, houses, road realignment and families coming into the community. And yet there are always familiar things and people who anchor it and make it unique in itself. The McBeath family are certainly people who contribute fully to the community they live in and have done so for generations. Recently, through conversation with John McBeath (above), of Joiners Cottage, the Grapevine gained some insight into the role they have played and continue to do, here in Blair Drummond. Q. How long have the McBeath family been in the area? A. My great grandfather came to this area from Blackford in the 1860s and to Ramoth, on the Coldoch Road in 1896. He was a stonemason and one of those who built the Wallace Monument. 1 Q. And the joiner side of the family, who began that aspect? A. My father was born in 1903 at Ramoth, and the family moved to the Post Office (now our home) in 1910. He became a time served joiner. I followed on from him and now there’s our son Gordon and his son Sean, making it over 100years since we began the business. Q. So whom do we have in the McBeath family now? A. Well, Margaret and I married in 1959 and we went on to have our eldest son John, followed by Catriona and then the youngest Gordon who, with his wife Pauline, has 4 sons – James, Sean, Andrew and Fraser.

    Acc.11713 June 2011 Inventory Acc.11713 Clan Gregor Centre Archive (History and Genealogy) National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Donated to the National Library of Scotland on behalf of the Clan Gregor Centre in February 1999. This is the second of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits: for the first, see Acc.10664; for the third seeAcc.12335. This inventory has been compiled by Sheila McGregor, FSA Scot, for the Clan Gregor Centre. Introduction: This material represents the contribution of a rather small number of active individuals to the Clan Gregor Centre over many years of collecting and compiling. It represent both traditional knowledge and many years of research. It has occasionally been possible to attribute a file to a named individual but in most cases the folders are composite collections from many sources and these are attributed to me in my capacity as curator and general editor. The members of the Clan as a whole, who are extremely numerous, owe the active few a great deal since they have been among the very few to keep hold of their real past and to avoid the romantic escapism that pervades modern Highland culture, if that is the right word. It has been possible, with the support of these few active members and the willing collaboration of the National Library of Scotland, not only to preserve their knowledge but often to extend it since modern research tools have made it sometimes possible to find solutions to long-standing problems.
