My great Grandfather Alexander Maclean had a joinery and undertaking
business based in a shed on the Station Road. He was for nearly thirty
years the esteemed local correspondent of the "Strathspey
Herald." 
Contributing
news on the village and the surrounding area .
Here are two of the short articles attributed to him.
PEDESTRIANISM
A correspondent writes:-In these days of speed, of record breaking by
land sea and air, it is refreshing to think that there are still some
blessed souls who use "Shank's mare" to good purposes.
I have it from a friend that recently, while the snow covered the roads
and the world was ice-bound, he walked a good 30 miles at an average speed
of four miles an hour. The route he followed was by no means easy - Car
bridge to Lochandorb, thence to Dava and Grantown, and back to Carr Bridge.
The last lap was covered - and please remember he had gone 20 miles before
- in two hours exactly. That is ten miles in two hours - good going surely.
The same man had covered with the same pair of legs and feet a distance
of upwards of 70 miles in three days during the month of January.
Wheeling a perambulator with twin children a lady walked from the square of Grantown to Carr Bridge, a distance of ten miles, in 2 hours 30 minutes. Surely a creditable performance.
