Disappointingly I have very few photos of the McDiarmids, but the following all represent some connection to their lives. |

Claggan Farm. Robert and Margaret McDiarmid lived here until 1859 when they moved to Auchnafree. Four of their children (John, James, Ann and Grace) were born at Claggan. It is still a working farm. |

This memorial to Robert MCDiarmid stands in the tiny cemetery at Ardtalnaig on the south side of Loch Tay, near Killin. |

This is the site of Tomflour, where Robert's father, John, was joint tenant with his younger brother Archibald in the early years of the nineteenth century. All that is left of the farm is a heap of stones. |

|
Tullichglas Farm. Robert's father, John, farmed here in the early nineteenth century. It is now derelict. |
