I bet if you wrote to them, they seemed like the kind of people to me who would take an interest & do their best to assist you with finding records or just telling you about what life had been like there at the time you were born.
I'm in Saskatchewan, though born at Peterborough....I agree...we have a great life in Canada!
I'm back to Scotland in just over a month to visit again though....something about it that just draws me
back again & again!

I have visited Haddo House & had a lovely visit with June, Marchioness of Aberdeen & Temair.  the owner. She was a close friend (actually a distant cousin) of a relative of mine.
A very down to earth lady, who was out in her garden working when we arrived.  She has turned Haddo in a thriving Arts Centre, including the Haddo House Choral Society, an annual Opera production, choral concerts, a bi-annual Shakespeare production, etc.   Her son has, I believe, taken over the operation of this part of the estate & there is a trust that administers it now.
The booklet is very interesting & informative.  I'm sure you could obtain it on-line through the National Trust.  I too am in Canada.
