Hi Willie, welcome aboard.

I'm still digging for the name of your 1937 PF chappie. I thought that would've been the easy bit! If I haven't heard by next week I can see me resorting to underhand means :wink:
Meanwhile, I've checked out a couple of local cemetries with no luck - the one in Glen Nevis I just happened to be passing, and I took a run out to the ancient Cille Choirill Churchyard at Achluachrach. This sits on a hill just above the place where Hugh died. Boy is it a creepy place! I reckon dracula would be freaked out in there! Not a place to be after dark, I can tell you. Another likely cemetery that I'll try is the one at Spean/Kilmonivaig itself. There was a big funeral in progress when I passed the other day, so I didn't go in. I reckon Hugh would have been buried locally, so I'll eliminate these places before I search the larger cemetries nearer the main town.

Cheers

Bob.
