Joan, always known as Jo, was born on 24 Oct 1910. With her siblings she spent much of her youth in Ester Ross, especially after the early death of their father, as one can see from the charming picture of her as a girl that hangs at present at Foulis. She was twice married, first to Alistair Gordon-Ingram, and secondly at Foulis to a distinguished County Court Judge and former wartime sailor, Harold Paton. She and Harold settled down on his retirement at Ardullie Farmhouse near Foulis, while her daughter Mary and her family lived nearby.

Joan and her sister, Marion had much in common, notably a fierce loyalty to the family and its traditions, a love of Foulis and Ferindonald and those great Scots' characteristics of determination and thrift. Born to a privileged, if not wealthy, background of large houses and domestic servants, they lived to see huge social changes and to their great credit they adapted well to the more straightened circumstances of the end of the 20th century. Like their mother, Eva Gascoigne, who lived at Foulis for so many years, they were never ones to reject the modern world, instead embracing what was best about it. Like her too, they had a deep sense of duty to those who had served them over the years.

Jo and Maryanne both bore the infirmities of old age bravely and without complaint. They were buried in the tranquil old churchyard at Kiltearn by the sea, where so many Munros have gone to lie. May they rest in peace, remembered by their children and many friends.
