The house above the car was owned by my Great Aunt Williamina McLennan, who bought it in 1948. It was a 17-1/2 acre croft which my father, Robert Watt inherited from his aunt who died in 1975 aged 95. Before she bought it, her late husband, Alexander McLennan worked the croft (see photographs of ploughing with horse & bullock, harvesting corn with his mother Janet McLennan & Mrs Stephens a neighbour). Before Williamina & Alexander took over the working of the croft it was leased by my Great Grandparents Francis & Jane Watt. Francis was the son of George Watt (Farmer of Lumphanan) & Jane Dunn. Francis' wife Jane was the daughter of James Cruickshank & Jane Williams who owned the General Store at Park Hill, Lumphanan.
