Jilly we are only going Tuesday till thursday just enough time to say hi or aye to everyone lol

Hayley when you coming and where????? come to the scottish meet up with all of us!!!!!! I'm in Fife but I isny a fifer!!!!

I do! I live in Ardersier, midway between Nairn and Inverness. Never heard of 'plank' being lots of cash but I suppose that must be a lowland expression! Hope you enjoy your visit to Kirkintilloch. If you g**gle the name you should be able to find out quite a bit of info, or enter curiousfox and look at their genealogy site as there should be maps on there. It's in Dumbarton-shire. From there, you can if you wish head towards Loch Lomond area - lovely scenery, appalling roads. Or head up the A9 and you have lots of places to see etc, Stirling with the Castle and the Wallace Monument, the Bannockburn Heritage Centre as well. Then there's Callandar, perhaps go to Lochearnhead, beautiful area. Or you could stay on the A9 and visit the fair city of Perth; if you do then Scone Palace is a must - it's where all the Kings and Queens of Scotland were reputedly crowned. Of course, if you fancy a trip to Edinburgh (let me know and I'll let you have a list of people to look for in Records Office!!) there's Holyrood, the Castle, the Royal Mile is full of interesting things to do - I spent a whole day in the John Knox Museum! - there are theatres as well. Or of course you can spend as much time as you like in Glasgow - again loads to see and do there, both day and evening. Have a great time - hope the weather stays good for you Christine

Well my name say's it all.

Not any more been away 7yrs I was born and brought up round corner from Hampden Park

We live a few miles from Kirriemuir, Angus. Right on top of a hill. You can see for miles and miles. It's paradise. We have a bungalow on a farm. It's detached. A view from every window. I think I've died and gone to heaven. Only been here for abour 8 months but hope to get a lot more years yet. Marina
