Scotland Promise

Grandpa was a Scotsman, he met my grandmother while he was in Canada. They came back to Scotland and lived there for a year, Until the opportunity came for them to emigrate to Australia.

fast forward a few dozen years, and he had died. He went back to Scotland in 1997 and sent postcards back to Australia to his grandchildren. I have his diaries, I went looking for the postcards.

I found them and read them. The postcard that he sent to me said that he had visited some castles and hadn't seen any ghosts. There and then I said that I would go to Scotland and see these castles and see a Ghost.

Whether that be because I was full of grief or something else, but I made this promise and I intend to keep it.

That is the story :)

Christine, I suggest you keep that promise. Take the postcards to the castles and take some time to sit, read them and re-connect with your grandparents and your heritage.

Do you know if there are some of your relatives still there?

Scotland is an awesome place. I went there 9 years ago.
