I understand everything, both my names are traditional Scottish names, Surname is a clan name, both of which I am very proud of :-D people say my dad still has the Scottish accent, but listening to my brother who still lives in Scotland, my dad sounds more English to me. I know about the' Gallows' my dad will be 91 this year and doesn't remember things like he used to. I have relatives in Ayr, Eastwood and my step nan ,many years ago, lived in Paisley. Wonderful people, in a wonderful country. Cheerio :-)

We were in Dunedin two days ago. It's a lovely place, settled by the Scots so very scottish in it's traditions. It's about an hours drive away from us. :)
