Clients are in the latter stages of tracing their family ancestry and have travelled from leafy Surrey to Scotland’s Capital… Edinburgh where we embark upon the piecing together of the family history. Most of our morning is spent visiting different locations within the capital before heading along the motorway to Glasgow and beautiful Ayrshire. Lots more interesting discoveries and at the end of a busy day, Glasgow Airport is our destination and we say farewell and wish them both a safe onward journey.
Scottish Ancestry:
People of Scottish descent live in many countries. Emigration, influenced by factors such as the Highland and Lowland Clearances, Scottish participation in the British Empire, and latterly industrial decline and unemployment, have resulted in Scottish people being found throughout the world. Scottish emigrants took with them their Scottish languages and culture. Large populations of Scottish people settled the new-world lands of North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. Canada has the highest level of Scottish descendants per capita in the world and the second-largest population of Scottish descendants, after the United States.
