Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Can you tell us what you already know and what information you are looking for?  No point in providing screeds of stuff if you already have it  ;)

Hi David

No family connection, but local to St Andrews.

If you Google "Hugh Lyon Playfair" you'll find loads of information, photographs, etc., for him

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

Good day.  I have a fair amount of material on H.L.P., more interested in finding more on Margaret Adelaide, who was my gr-gr-grandmother.  Died in India, January 1848, 1 month after the birth of my gr-grandfather.
BTW, I also have Crawfords in my family.  My gr-grandmother was Caroline Georgina Hague Crawford, daughter of Angus Crawford and Isabella Lawrie.
Cheers...
David
