Reading this post brought my own trip to mind - I had a month in the States last October, travelling around and meeting many interesting and thoughtful people and loved it!

Mmm...some of it may seem familiar, but I'm definitely saving the juiciest bits for the book...there are family secrets!

Absolutely fascinating. Being Scottish myself, wasn't Alexander born in Ayrshire - please say I havent got this wrong! Oh the embarrassment if I have.

Absolutely: Daniel his older brother was born on Arran, Alexander was born in Irvine. I'm glad to (re-?)introduce the wonderful Macmillan brothers to a Scot!
