Hi I am new to this history hunting, (and am not sure if I am doing this correctly)but I have a query regarding Johnnie Walkers son, I am chasing up some family history. I have read a book called live and let Live and it mentions that a son of Johnnie Walker bought a property in the central Otago area of New Zealand about 1895 to 1898. I am hoping some one may have information that confirms his connection to New Zealand. Thanks

As far as I know, Johnnie Walker had three sons.  Alexander stayed in Scotland with the firm.  I have no knowledge as to where the other two sons went: Robert born c1840 and John born c1845. 
Incidentally PUR I have Woodhead relatives who went to central Otago in 1890s, descendants still there but they are related by marriage to Johnnie Walker

Can anyone help me to identify an Hotel on South Uist that was owned by a member of the Walker Whiskey family around the mid 1970s?   I would like to visit the place, but have been unable to identify which is the Hotel in question.  Many thanks
