Hi Chris
Fantastic thanks for getting back to me,I haven't got a huge amount of stuff but may be able to fill in a few gaps.The bits of information I have were put together by a genealogy group in Edinburgh doing a family tree on my 2nd cousin Eric Milligan who has been lord cheif proverst of Edinburgh several times in the last few decades so he's the same relation to you as I am,so you have a sort of famous Scottish politician in the family,one of his uncles my mums cousin also an Eric Milligan was a famous TV chef in the 60s and early 70s unfortunately he died fairly young in the 70s.
My email is s.masey@btinternet.com I would love to know more about this part of my family and your life and family.
Best wishes Simon

Hello there, I am new to this so I apologise if this is in the wrong place.  I am looking for information on the Lock keepers at Kytra Lock.  Elias Harrison 3x Great Grandfather  and his son John 2x great grandfather were lock keepers there from 1851 to approx 1891.
Is there anywhere I can find history on the lock.  Also in the census John is written down as the lock keeper of the Caledonian Canal.  Is that the same as Kytra lock.

Also in the 1841 census it lists Elias and his family living at Kyltry public house.  I presume this is a pub, does anyone know anything about this as well.

I would appreciate any information or if someone could point me in the right direction or know of any publications that I can purchase it would be really appreciated.
I live in Australia now so access to these places is a little hard for me.
Cheers
Chris
