There are a few interesting lines of research underway which will be posted soon. If you have a family tree or photo to contribute please let me know

Welcome to the new members who have recently joined. More contecnt has been added to Clach and to Coutts Polo. Heraldry will get a revisit soon. Does anyone have a family tree to link too?

Thankfully I have fixed the Lore page, but not yet the People page. I have also started a new Clach Tab and I am populating more detail. Next will be more detail around individual heraldry.

For no rational reason the content of Lore and some tabs under People and Places has dropped out. I am asking the question of the web host. I recommend you read the section titled Clach under People and Places. It is a good story

Well done on finishing the research and thanks to Peter Aikman for the photo's, and hiking in to get them!
