Hi Cath,

It would be wonderful if you could let the professor know that I have information on the Strachan clan, and am a descendant.  I apparently cannot reply to your message privately (?) as I am a new poster.  Any suggestions as I am not sure I would like to put my email out as public knowledge.

Hello Stuart P and the other researchers

Log on to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

It a ppv site - but free searching of sorts.  Bottom left of the initial page is wills etc.

Good luck.
