Hi Howard, Do you know if this man was married and if so, the name of his wife(s)? "....an infamous Portsoy Merchant Alexander Robertson (abt 1720 - 1790) was known to one and all as Mr Sandy, especially by his creditors who were chasing around most of Scotland trying to get hold of him." I´m curoius because I´ve found one Alexander Robinson in a testament in Sweden, that might be the one you´re telling about above. Best regards, Kaj Andersson
