Possible illegitimate children

I have just discovered that an Aunt from the North of Scotland had an illegitimate son. She never married and I do not know of anyone who would fit as her son in the family circle. She was born 1910 so I suppose he would be quite old now if he is still alive. Is there any way that I could find out more about this birth. I don't have his birthdate.

He would probably have been registered under his mother's name

If you put the name on here I am sure someone will be able to help you

Mothers name was Christina Macleod she was born 1910 in North west Scotland Coigach area possibly Linnierannoch. Her son may have been called Murdoch as family tradition but they may have bypassed that one because of his status. would have been born 1926-1936

Try searching trees for Christina McLeod. I have a friend with a tree full of McLeods, you will find her on here. The name rings a faint bell.
