BRADBURN

Thanks for that input guys, no doubt there's a connection somewhere? Gadget there's also a Leveson-Gower, aka the Earl of Granville, who owns much of North Uist & claims to be a crofter. A bit ironic! There's also a connection to Jenners department store in Edinburgh.

The young Queen Victoria visited the Sutherlands at their London house (Stafford House?) and exclaimed that she came from her house to their palace!

Skoosh.
