In addition to background information on Paterson's career, there is also a free to read 52 page long digital magazine, Paterson's Inverness Portraits. The images in the magazine are simply stunning. The publication is accessible from the site's home page.
The project ties into the already established Scottish Highlander Photo Archive, which has also been upgraded, and which can be accessed at www.scottishhighlanderphotoarchive.co.uk. I recently discovered a possible photo on this site which may be of my grandfather, but there's a still a bit of work to do at my end to try to firm this up.
A brilliant resource for the Capital of the Highlands.

My new book, Tracing Your Irish Family History on the Internet, is now available from Pen and Sword. My Scottish land and church records ebooks are available at http://www.gen-ebooks.com/unlock-the-past.html, whilst my next Pharos Scottish course, Scottish Research Online, starts Sep 4th - see http://pharostutors.com/details.php?coursenumber=102. Time to smash a few brick walls...!
I worked for Hector Paterson, Andrews son in the fifties at 19 Academy street.
