Passed through Peterhead couple of days ago by chance due to a road closure at Mintlaw, so hadn't looked beforehand for location of Mlanje,  i had family connections - and with Gardens way back with both Mlanje Peterhead and in Nyasaland  (El Dorado ).

Hello and a very happy and peaceful 2017 to everyone.  I wonder if anyone knows the whereabouts of this house.  Mlanje was the name of the tea plantation in Nyasaland {now Malawi} where my late brother in law was brought up.  I appreciate that we can't go around peering in folks' gardens but I would love to be able to send a photograph of the house to his daughter in Australia.  The family name is Garden and they have long connections with the Aberdeen, Banff and Buchan area.  Thank you, in advance, for any information, isk
Surnames of Stewart and Peat as well.  is the Australian connection Melbourne with initials LH ?
