years spent in tomintoul 1939-1943

having grown up in tomintoul, now I wonder what what its like now. Once in Singapore alongside another vessel, conversation led to where are you from. The other party was from Tomintoul. Unfortunely the vessel pulled out. The engineer I was conversing with said his name was Smith. On a visit to tomintoul later no one knew of a Smith. Smith a derivative of Gow in the angalised form, or vice versa.
