If you have no luck with any of the above then I don't mind taking a look next time I'm in Inverness Library. Send me a message if it turns out that that would be helpful.

When I was in Inverness last September (2009), I looked at the microfiches of the "Inverness Courier" and found my GGM's death reported (1920) at the Farraline Park Library.

There is now a new Highland Archives Centre in Inverness at the Bught Park, so the Courier microfiches may have been moved there. The other local paper is the "Press and Journal"
