Thanks Frank, but im afraid that's doublespeak to me at the mo. lol.

I think (certainly, I hope!) you actually meant, "Hi Ian" ( Ian, being LinneyI) simply because, whilst I do have a copy of that particular publication, as well as other useful ones such as The Muster Roll of Angus, I have to admit they only seldom actually see the light of day and it was Ian who made the effort for you rather than me.
The little photographs are really superb things to see after well over one hundred years and really add an extra dimension to your medals.

Best of all,to be furnished with such a bounty of knowledge in no time at all. Not being very IT literate, god knows how long I would have taken to gather a tiny amount of the information given so freely by yourself and the other members.I cannot thank you all enough. I will state from the off that I may be inclined to "nip yir heids" as we say up here,with more queries.

OOPPSS,Sorry the computer idiot in me is showing...whilst I sit here trying to compose a readable effort,(with one finger),I have muddled the water as regards who im replying too. Just spent what seems ages saving,pasting and re savig all the lovely pictures on this thread.Really going to fry my brain to get photos of the medals uploaded.......... Sorry again.

Ian, thank you. I cant seem to find the book you recommend.
