I reckon this photo in 1965 and Lochaber won the 3 Cups they entered , I am sure the Cups L-R are the Sutherland Cup , MacGilliveray Div 2 Cup & the Strathdearn Cup , They beat Ballachulish 3-1 to win the Sutherland Cup , Lochaber later won the Sutherland Cup again in 1983

Top Left to Right Tom MacDonald (Nick) Ally MacLeod (Uisdean) Alisdair MacDonald , Colin MacFadyen , John Andrews , Roddy Campbell

Bottom L - R , Ronnie MacIntosh , Donald MacFadyen , David Campbell , Tommy MacGregor , Beeny Murray and Billy MacLaughlin

Ronnie Campbell is missing he was Captain in season 1964/65 Trophys are Sutherland Cup MacGillvary Leauge and Strathdearn Cup

Think the player on the left of Alisdair MacDonald is the late Ally MacLeod (Uisdean)

Great to see the team photo, which was taken outside the old dining room windows of Spean Hotel .

Sad that four of these great team-mates are no longer with us but always remembered .

Think we could have a 50 year get together in a few years time ! great site with so much info . well done Peter .

Everyone is so kind with their comments for Sally and I , But its the co operation of everyone that has contributed that is making it so popular , Check your attic and older family relations for photos and if you dont know how to add them to the website ? Give your Photos to Sally or my sister Christine who will gladly Scan them , put them on for you and return them to you asap - As a boy working in Roybridge shop , we sold local postcards and I remember one showing the Top & Bottom Terrace , My mum used to send it to distant relatives with a X against 15 Mulroy Terrace to show where we lived , hope this one surfaces and the one of Mrs Connor sitting at Monnesie George I also remember a bithday Party of Keith Wilson with us all taken outside 1 Keppoch Terrace which he tells me he has and will put on the site .

Second Left is Ally McLeod , Ben and Danny Delaneys Uncle ?

Came across this by accident and reminded me of the good times in Spean Bridge. Worked in the hotel when Colin Macfadyen was there had a lots of good times doing the Lochaber Ball etc. Remember going to Inverness to Bught Park for a Cup match in the late 60's and getting grief of Jomo ( she was the cook for not getting back for my shift )
Ah! the good old days , Now nearing my sixty-second birthday but remember a lot of the faces in this photo. What happened to Colin last time I met him he was in Inverness?

Hi Jim
I remember when you were working in Spean Hotel. I was just a wee girl doing a holiday job in MacFarlane's shop, I had to do the bread and bacon run up to the hotel, and you locked me in the walk-in freezer in the kitchen. You had red hair ??
Am I right ?

Sounds like me but never had red hair (fair hair) but I remember the MacFarlanes owned the shop .Takes me back though do you still live around the area ? saw Lochaber on telly in the Shinty Final but see they got beat. always look up the scores to see how they are doing.
