Description From Owner:
  • Robert Ferguson (1768-1851), from Logierait, Scotland, came to this area in 1796 and became a leading merchant and shipbuilder who some called 'father and founder of the Restigouche.'
  • He named the place of his shipbuilding operations in the mouth of the Restigouche R. Atholville after his home which he called Athol House, likely inspired by Blair Atholl near his Scottish birthplace.
  • Athol House was destroyed by fire in 1894. A point projecting into the Restigouche R. at Atholville is named Ferguson Point after him.
