Scottish connection

My maternal grandfather's mother was a Hay. There were Highland Hays and Lowland Hays and she was a Lowland Hay, although the only photographs of her that I have were taken when she was living in Moscow Mansions in Kensington.

My maternal great aunt Romer married Jock Sprott who lived at Spott, and had two children Kenneth and Sheila. Kenneth inherited Spott and later divorced and went to live in South Africa, and Sheila married John Lindsay Macdougall who lived at Lunga.

Lunga is glorious, situated south of Oban on the coast. After John L-M died Sheila remarried Aubrey Gibbon and had a son and a daughter. Louise married Paul Ramsay who lives at Bamff House in Perthshire where they hunt wild boar,

My first cousin Sue Kent married Norman Galbraith whose father Lord Strathclyde had been PPS to the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. The current Tom Strathclyde was leader of the House of Lords.
