I am not able to put you in touch with other members, but if you search for 'Highland Orphanage' (top right on your screen) you will find others who have posted here, and you can make contact directly.
Good luck with your research - I do understand something of the emotional aspects you are facing.
The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.
Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.
Professions also help.
'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.
Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
