Perthshire Douglas families

[William Douglas]

Whilst researching something entirely different, and as I was about to shut down and head for bed, I stumbled upon a family history that reminded me why I am not a pure genealogist!

Whilst we need their skills to help us find our roots, it is the history behind the names that I find fascinating.

The story records details of events that took place on a hillside visible from my bedroom window when I was a boy, and there were lots of familiar place names mentioned, so I did not get to bed as early as I planned whilst I studied the details, and then read two others, also set in Perthshire.

The stories can be found here:

• The Douglas Family of Balnabodach, Findo-Gask and Scone
• The Douglas Family and its connection to the Borenich Burial Ground
• The Douglas Family of Borenich and Muirhead, Liff
