My First Trip to Scotland - a travel journal

[Jock Scot]

Nearly eight centuries of occupancy! as a historian, my mind boggles at the thought.

You have indeed had a priceless experience of family roots.

I'm now curious about the fate of those documents the men showed you, and what information you might have gotten from them.

Whilst I can understand that eight centuries is a long time, but it is not unusual in Europe, not just Scotland, or the whole of the UK for that matter, for family histories, houses or a combination of both to go back for at least that length of time. In many ways, I think many in Europe do take our history very much for granted.
