HUGH AND CATHERINE

 

On leaving the army Hugh returned to teaching and in 1921 he and his first love, Catherine, got married at her home Scotack Farm in Caithness.  They then moved to Latheron where they had 2 children George and Catherine. Later they moved again to Ardhattan Schoolhouse on Loch Etive where Hugh continued teaching as headmaster until his retirement to the village of Connel Ferry. Throughtout his career Hugh kept a notebook recording current issues, some of which bear a striking echo of issues still very prevalent today, both in the field of education and local public transport!
