Hi

I am the grandaughter of Dolina Maccrimmon Lorimer. I have a Bible with Alexander's bithday recorded in it as 24 March 1871, died 1917. His parents are also in the Bible as Donald and Margaret McCrimmon. They were born 1820 and 1835 respectively. They lived in Glenbrittle, Isle of Skye in a cottage which is in our family to this day. Is this of interest to you? Donald died in 1884 and Margaret in December 1917.
