This family lived at Scar in 1851 and 1861 and at Reedlums in 1871. Ann b. 1863 married John Mainland.   His first marriage.

 

 A great grand-daughter of Christina (Louttit) Bowie wrote:

Christina (1863- 1936) married Charles Bowie in Edinburgh. They emigrated to Canada and settled in Winnipeg. They had three children and two grandsons one of whom was my father.  They had a tailoring business.

The youngest of the Louttit family was Elizabeth who married Edward Bowie the younger brother of Charles Bowie. He was a train engineer. They settled in Fort William, now Thunder Bay, in Ontario. They had 4 children and three grandchildren, two of whom still live at Thunder Bay.

The sisters, and their daughters, were great letter writers and kept in close touch, but all traces of John, William, Scarth, and Henry have been lost. None of them is thought to have remained in Rousay.

Elizabeth Cormack, a grand-daughter of Christina (Louttit) Bowie, writes:

Catherine married and lived in Greenock, Scotland. She had a married daur. by the name of Jean Parker. James went to Australia. He erected a headstone on his parents’ grave. William married Charlesina Hamilton in Glasgow in 1878. Alexander is said to have been a partner in a small diamond mine in South Africa, where he died. Jane Mary (Mary Jane) married a ship’s captain and went to the South Pacific. She settlrd in Hawaii and had 3 daughters and one son. She was widowed and remarried in Hawaii. Her 3 daughters married and eventually moved to California, but her only son, Calle Dixon, remained in Hawaii.

Died in World War 1.

 

On Thursday last the remains of Pte. Harry Reid, of the Seaforth Highlanders, the son of Mr. Alex. Reid, gardener, Melsetter, Longhope, was brought to the island by patrol boat and interred in Westside Churchyard. The bearing and firing parties were of the O.R.G.A.  Territorials, and they accompanied the remains from Kirkwall. There were present also a number of relations and friends from Longhope. They were met at Westness by a large number of inhabitants, who followed the cortege to the graveyard. The service, which was most impressive, was conducted by the Rev. Duncan Maclaren of Evie, who kindly officiated in the absence of the Rev. J. Deas Logie, who is now attending the Assembly. The greatest sympathy is felt for Mr. Reid, father of the deceased, which was evidenced by the number of mourners who accompanied the remains to the churchyard. Mr. Reid's other son joined the colours in Canada, and is now serving with the Canadians.
