Ancestry Tours in Scotland
Scots have settled in Canada, New Zealand, USA, Australia, Argentine and almost everywhere else in the world. Many descendants come back to see where their forebears lived.
Scots descendants can usually trace their family history through the General Register of Scotland see Scotland's People . That database is open to everyone.
We will be very pleased to take you to see where your ancestors came from and the following are some examples of what we have done:-
Case Study 1 We took clients to the west of Scotland but eventually could only say " The Glen is over that ridge and there is no way in but walking!!" They did walk over and then we took them to the Parish Church where they saw family graveyards.
Case study 2
Another Texas family visited relations in Northern Ireland and then their native areas on the Mull of Kintyre, in West Scotland (I still have the Stetson to prove it).
Other clients have gone to Huntingtower Castle near Perth, to industrial Lanarkshire and some only have a family name so we show them the most likely areas.
But all have been pleased to be able to visualise the land from whence their families sprung. The more information you have on your family, the more specific we can be and we can call on experts to help.
If you know where your ancestors came from we will arrange for you to visit, either by hiring a car or having a chauffeur driven vehicle.
From Edinburgh you can travel to Inverness in three hours so there is a lot of Scotland which can be seen in a day. However, in summer the roads are busy and we will arrange timings accordingly.
Many churches (or Kirks) have a list of the names of people buried in their churchyards and it is quite possible to arrange to see the graves.
