Cockles
Been a while since I had a photo that I felt was worth sharing, this is Cockleroy in West Lothian, not the highest hill in Scotland but one of the best views in eastern Central Scotland, from the Trossachs to the Pentlands, Fife, the islands of North Berwick, and…

Lost and Found
For some years now some of our family have been discussing the mystery of The Sicilian, a female ancestor about whom very little was known.
