George, the son of Hugh and Catherine, followed in his father’s footsteps and became a teacher. He got married and had 3 sons. The middle son, Allan, came to work at Hope Estate in 1984, married Kirsteen and now live in Melness. They have 2 children, Eoghann and Riona. Riona, a pupil at Farr High School, is currently a voluntary archivist working at Strathnaver Museum which is how this story came to be here for you today!
