Hello, I was missing my wee brother, Marcus Ross, looked up your memories and found this great photograph of you all.
My brother is number 2 Marcus Ross from Strathpeffer.
Marcus now lives in Alberta Canada, works on the pipeline but always has his chainsaw at hand along with the knowledge he learned from the forests and the people of home. Comment left on 27 August 2021 at 13:17 by Lorraine
