Me and Cat Liath in 2021
While I was exploring my family roots in Scotland, I wanted to find out more about the lifeways, the locations and the “style” of homes and communities that my ancestors lived in. On my visit there, I was followed around by the sweetest grey cat – Cat Liath. And I recently found out from Auchindrain’s blog post of this soft cat’s death. I’m so glad that I got this picture of me with him, purring the whole time that I sat with him and following me even to the car park.
I was so excited to find out about the recreated/restored township that has been created at Auchindrain https://www.auchindrain.org.uk/ . Full of homes, barns, equipment that is genuine and reflects what living was like in the 1800s to early 1900s, it is truly a great museum of our old Highlands family life.
A “typical” Highlands township home – room for some cows or sheep inside too!
Rest well, Catty Cat – you gave us all some love when we visited!
