Hi,

Is there anyone out there that can read the Scottish Secretary Hand. I have a will dated 1707 (about three pages) for the Captain of a Ship called the Rising Sun. I only want to see what relatives are mentioned and if there is anything useful in it. I have sat for ages with the alphabet in front of me from Scotlandspeople but can not make head nor tail of it. Any advice appreciated.

Georgina
