Robert dodds scott was my g-g-g-g-grandfather, descendin down the robert scott lineage.  His parents were William Scott and Elizabeth Riddell and I am attempting now to find their ancestors.  The story in our family has it that Robert's father was a steward on an estate and Robert walked cattle down through England then decided to try his luck in the growing town of Merthyr Tydfil.  Family lore has it that he strode down Merthyr High Street playing his bagpipes and Dinah was sat in her Mother's front parlour and anounced that was the man she would marry.  I have lots of infor of their life and their descendents as well as some very early photographs.
