18:07 - from 217.135.166.66 Hi, was given the name of your site by a friend. I'm trying to do a bit of research on the Criggie family tree, most of my ancestors seem to come from Bervie/Gourdon area so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks |

22:30 - from user-399.wfd89a.dsl.pol.co.uk Hi John, We recently through unfortunate circumstances found a couple of news clippings (one dated April 27 1939) both are about Coxswain George Milne of the gourdon Lifeboat receiving an award for gallantry. We were chuffed to find a your depiction of the 1938 Lifeboat. To every one out there Hi, any more information available? We used to have many a holiday in Johnshaven with my grandmother Donaldson mid fifty's to sixties spending quite some time with Davy. Thank you very much, an addition to my favourites |

03:54 - from bas1-london14-1167879546.dsl.bell.ca I haven't been here for some time, and it is great to read the letters and go through the sites and sounds of Scotland. My family came from Gourdon. Alex Ross. The last I heard my cousin Margaret Mason still lived there. I think of my home land and will always feel close when I visit this site. Thank you John. |

20:11 - from user-3970.wfd89a.dsl.pol.co.uk Hello John. I clicked on to your site because my grandfather was a John Ritchie. Looking through the little genealogy that I have on the Ritchie family - I see that many of John's siblings had similar names to your tree but the dates do not match up. My grandfather John, born 1857 in Monimail, Fife. Anyway, I enjoyed the site - lovely paintings. I grew up in South Africa and do not know Scotland well so it's great to read about it. Thanks Rae |

01:01 - from toronto-HSE-ppp4069256.sympatico.ca I've visited this site several times and I must tell you John, everytime I open this site it brings a smile to my face, the music is lovely and takes me back to my trip and sitting on the cliffs at Cowie, where we stayed. I also had a chance to read the lovely poem, thank you John for this site, it gives the wandering sheep a way to keep in touch. xox |
