I have ancestors from Cambuslang, so might see if I can get up to Scotland for that day. Could be very interesting. Will call at the stand and say hello.

Anyone related to Strachan from that area reading this?

Hi Sarah,

I think your aunt and Gadget are at the wind up!  It's being held in Motherwell not Achiltibuie. I think you can save a few pence by not buying the midge repellant.

However, it could cost you a few pounds to bribe the Border Police to let you in.

Are we going to have a Rootschatters' Rendezvous somewhere? I don't know the venue at all so am not in a position to suggest where might be suitable.

In fact I don't think I have ever been in Motherwell, except once when I got lost trying to find my way back to the M8 from Blantyre.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
