I thought I`d share this!

I have just came back from having a three day coach trip to Arrochar Scotland and loved every moment of it,

The scenery. service of staff and trips out on the coach to different areas were superb. We were also given a history lesson thrown in too.. the hotel decor was a bit shabby but everything else ie meals were excellent...

I had wanted to go to Arrochar for quite a number of years since I found thats where my gt Grandfather and gtgt grandmother were born.

to put the Icing on the cake I got told that the hotel was built by John Macfarlane which I descend!!

I felt I found a bag of Gold. I was elated. haha!

Linda - so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Bonnie Scotland <3 every time I read about peoples trips there I wish I was able to move back home - as to the hotel, that's what we Scots call Shabby Chic :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
