In yesterday's edition of "The Press and Journal" there's an article about a wartime baby returning to her birthplace.
" The National Trust is appealing for anyone born in the mansion between 1939 & 1945 to get in touch. Their stories and photographs will be featured in a special exhibition on the era. Anyone who is a Haddo baby or can help with the exhibition should get in touch with the trust on 08444932179 or online at haddo(at)nts.org.uk".
I'm sure there'll be a big response from the rootschatters!

We were in Scotland at Easter and visited Haddo House.......a lovely house, in lovely grounds....from memory, there was mention in the house of the 'Maternity' (possibly an information board in one of the rooms) and I think I also read about it in a copy of the National Trust Magazine too.

Great post above by flst......I'm sure many of you will get in touch with NT.
