I've not gone far had to go and take care of the offspring for a bit 
If it's OK I'll keep coming back here as a comforter/security blanket(only joking)
I have been accused of drawing topics off track befor on my home town forum it's one of my quirks (I have a few)  |

Hi, Shirley! My husband and I visited Scotland last year, Edinburgh and Inverness, and bus tours from Inverness to John o' Groats and Land's End, and a boat tour of Loch Ness. We drove up from London with friends, by way of York. None of my three sons live at home, but I used to feel surrounded, especially once my daughter married and moved away.
And I get off topic all the time, or else come in too late, lol.

That must have been some coach trip the roads up there are not great for busses.
I am about 30 miles south of Edinburgh.
We were supposed to go to York this year but my hubbys work meant we have to put it off until later. York is great for holidays (so is Scotland ) |

By "holiday" she means vacations....at least that's what our Scottish and English relatives mean when they use the word holiday. |

I think she can handle it. I mean, she does live with all those boys! She's probably used to chaos.  |

Hi all,
Thanks, Scotland's not always raining we do have our moments when
the sun shines and when it does it's great.
On the good side all the rain we do get makes the plans very lush.
I will post more photo's when I get a chance but my hubby moans when the works not done.  |

Can anyone advise? |

Shirley, your post count is good. I went to adjust it manually, but you've been sociable enough so I didn't need to

Love the pics of your ancestors. You have a nice collection there. What sparked your interest in family history? I always think my time will come when I'll catch the family history vision but it really isn't my season yet.
