Easter 2007 I travelled to Scotland to visit friends. 1st stop was Aberdeen, which is the main replenishment centre for the Scottish oil industry. I also spent some time in the Family History Centre researching Cindy's Scottish roots. Amost interesting visit was rewarded by the discovery of a new branch of the family taking the family roots back to the 1770's in Glasgow.

I then travelled across the Cairngorms to Dunoon to stay with Alan & Sybil and yes sometimes the sun comes out. Then onto Glasgow to continue the research in the Mitchel Library. All in all I travelled 1400 miles there and back.

On the way across Scotland to visit Dunoon I had to stop at the Drummond Hotels as the views were beautiful
