You will find a warm welcome awaiting you at ‘home’ - and for those of you interested in exploring your Gaelic roots here is a list of possible starting points. for more click here
The Outer Hebrides of Scotland has a historical legacy of centuries of forced and voluntary emigration, which has left the islands with descendants spread far and wide around the world. The history of these emigrations is a fascinating story of violent clan feuds, powerful landlords, poverty, pioneers and new aspirations. Bill Lawson, Genealogist, gives an overview of the history of emigration from the Outer Hebrides. for more click here

I thought it would be useful to organise an informal discussion to bring those organisations supporting the Leith Museum Campaign up-to-date with progress to date, and possible next steps. I’m meeting with the Director of the National Museum of Scotland at the end of August and I’ve therefore arranged a meeting for Monday 3rd September, at 7.30pm in South Leith Parish Church Halls (not in the Church itself), 6 Henderson Street (courtesy of Ian Gilmour!)
This is planned as a meeting for supporting organisations. I will be suggesting we organise a public meeting later in September to keep informed the 3000+ people who’ve now signed the petition.
Many thanks, Mark Lazarowicz MP
The Deeds Collection of the Harvard Law School Library is a rich and diverse body of over 1,000 English legal documents dating from circa 1170 to 1888. This collection brings together in one group three smaller collections. The largest one is made up of some 820 deeds, originally owned by the English antiquarian Frederick Arthur Crisp (1851-1922). This group of documents was sold to A. T. Butler of the Royal College of Arms, and was subsequently purchased by Harvard College Library in 1923. In 1925 it was transferred to the Harvard Law School. for more click here
