The Thomson Children c.1910I believe this picture shows my grandfather William Thomson together with his brother and three sisters probably taken around 1910. From left to right they are Mary (May); William; Janet (Jenny); Jane (Jean); James. Their parents Alexander and Mary Thomson ran the Railway Hotel from 1908 until 1927 having previously run the Masons Arms in Dingwall. Alexander died in 1909 after which Mary , assisted by her sister Annie Cowper ran the hotel until she retired to Glasgow. May was Dux of Tain Royal Academy in 1922 however she died whilst still a student at Edinburgh University in 1924.
