I am an Australian Scot form Sydney who purchased from Robert Mc Bride (PM) and I thank him for the invite to visit and sign the guest book. We are involved through our Mothers Gordon Clan connection who emigrated to Australia in1789.
Also through the Fraser Clan on my Father's side. We would love to find out more and probably need to return to do some research. My brother and I toured in 1984 and I for one left my heart there, even though I have also been to San Franciso twice and love it (in reference to the song) Scotland with always be my second home and maybe one day my first.
