I don't know whether you are still interested, but Church Terrace was called such up until at least the late 1950s, when it became part of North Deeside Road. I know this, because my father's parents and grandparents lived in no.13, and then no. 14, Church Terrace from the end of the 19th century. We visited often when I was a child. Enjoy further wanderings! Peterculter – Church Terrace.

Being a Capetonian myself, I am thrilled that you describe the landscape (and your ancestory) in terms of the <a href="http://www.trivago.co.uk/cape-town-50652/travelguide" rel="nofollow">Mother City</a>. Our travel community has a fair amount of data concerning <a href="http://www.trivago.co.uk/scotland-41493" rel="nofollow">Scotland</a>, but amazingly no details about the Isle of Skye. Perhaps you would care to <a href="http://www.trivago.co.uk/register.php" rel="nofollow">register</a> and share some of your experiences with us? As usual, eminently readable!

Once we took the steam train from Fort William to Mallaig and back again. It was like being thrown back in time - every boys childhood's dream *lol* - the steam train which they used in the Harry Potter Movie, passing over the famous Glenfinnan viaduct. We're out on Skye too. A wonderful island. But the highlands, absolutely stunning..... *dreaming* You know, we’ve been there twice and it’s one of our absolutely favorite trips, we LOVE, no we ADORE Scotland!!!!!

You have a wonderful way of balancing delight and cynicism, past and present, the serious and the playful. It is fun to imagine what the clerk at the Peterculter Town Council made of it all. It certainly must have made her day a little different. Poor Claire, what a birthday! However, in years to come, the discomfort will be forgotten and the story often told, I’m sure. Your photographs are lovely. Heath A delightful article Iain. You have a wonderful way of balancing delight and cynicism, past and present, the serious and the playful.
