Strathcarron Place in Broomfield – Named after Strathcarron, a small village in west Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands.Named to continue the Scottish theme of the street names in the adjoining Kintyre Estates subdivision. In the Masham Park subdivision. Named in 2009.
A small amount of information from the library website. I lived in the UK for 5 years and I did a short stint in London at Christmas in 2009. Lady Strathcarron the 4th wife of the second Baron Strathcarron lived in the same building and she was a friend of my client. All I can say is that it sounds like the Baron was an interesting person and had lived a very full life before he died at the age of 82 by hitting a dustcart when riding his motorbike.
The street is not as interesting and none of the houses stood out for me. They were all built in 2010. At the end of the street there is a walkway that leads into Neathwest Reserve.
