Thank you so much for this information.  I will certainly get in touch with the newspaper editor.  I appreciate your time in posting this message.  I have always been interested in my place of birth although never visited it but I intend to do so one of these days.

Thank you for your reply.  I found it most interesting.  I have not visited Haddo House but look forward to doing so in the near future.  I did find a book entitled "Growing up in Haddo" which was about the family.  No mention of children being born there during the war.  I am able to impress people when I show them a picture of where I was born. However, this was followed by a move to less grander circumstances - a Glasgow tenement. Nevertheless had a vey happy childhood there and I have been fortunate to live in Toronto for the past forty years and appreciate the good life here in Canada.  Again thank you for your response.!

Aberdeenshire / Haddo House

I was born in Haddo House August 1941.  My mother and father lived in Glasgow and my father was not in the forces.  I think my mother was sent to Methlick for safety reasons and to have a safe delivery.  I understand at the anniversary of the end of the way a few years back that all children born at Haddo were invited back by the family still living there.  I was in Canada and did not hear about this until after the event.

There is a National Trust booklet on Haddo House.  However, it does not make any reference to this period.  I would be interested in hearing more information on this period if anyone knows or has visited Haddo House.

Hi, I am a Haddo House baby.  Was born in august 1941,  my mother and father lived in glasgow and my father was not in the forces.  I think mothers were evacuated during the war for safety sake.  I understand at the 50 year anniversary of theend of the war, children who were born at Haddo House were nvited back by the family who still live there. I am living in Canada so did not hear about it until after the event.  Have never visted Hadd House but would like to do so.

  You can get a booklet from the National Trust association on Haddo House but unfortunately it does not make any reference to this period.

Does anyone else hve information.  Over the years i have tried to find out more but no luck
