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

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...
