My Scottish Roots
Introduction I was fortunate to be able to spend time with one of my great-grandmothers, who lived until I was in my early 20s. We great-grandkids knew her as GG. GG was born in Lerwick in 1907. In 1912, her parents moved the family to Scotland’s mainland. She had my grandmother in 1928, and they left Scotland for Canada in 1930. So in 2024, when my wife and I were planning a trip to Scotland, I reviewed GG’s memoirs and added the places she wrote about to our itinerary. Here’s what I was able to find.
Undiscovered ScotlandThe amazingly well preserved Clickimin Broch on the south-west edge of Lerwick in Shetland. The site was first occupied around three thousand years ago, with the main structure dating back around two thousand years.

I went to town for the day - Lerwick. Nice to escape, even if it was for the dentist.
