Hi, Dennis, nice to hear from someone who's part of the ones who stayed behind! I sure don't have a digital picture of Ninian but if anyone has a non-digital one, I'd be happy to scan it and make it available on my website (email me personally and ask for my snailmail address.)

Ninian would make a stunning screenplay!) but to date I know of nobody but yourself who is studying it. If anyone knows where I might could go (particularly if it is on the web) for more information on that period in Scottish history, I'd be delighted to hear from you. I am also very interested in finding out how I could find a ship's list of passengers, well, prisoners, on that ship that brought Ninian and about 150 other Highlanders to Barbados. I would at least like to know their surnames - Call me silly, but I can't help feeling that those families are all kind of linked somehow as one big spiritual family! Far off in sunlit places Sad are the Scottish faces Yearning to feel the kiss of sweet Scottish rain Where tropic skies are beaming Love sets the heart a-dreaming Longing and dreaming for the homeland again kim -- ~~~~~~ epic7@pagesz.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \_/3 Had a good cup of tea lately? __________http://www.geocities.com/Athens/beallstuff.html ___
