This past week we traveled with Diane through Scotland and England, as she followed the trail of her ancestors. In Edinburgh she was able to walk the streets of the Currie/Colington area where her great grandfather lived and visit the area near the Juniper Green quarry explosion that greatly affected his family.
Edinburgh Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Stonehenge and the Isle of Skye were some of the other locations that Diane and her husband were able to visit. Diane reported that Gretna Green is still a "wedding" site that British folks use.
Another highlight of their trip was a visit to the family in the Bristol area where another of Diane's family lines originated.
Thanks, Diane, for sharing a memorable visit to Scotland and England, as well as those tips for planning a genealogy/tourism vacation.
