There are some interesting facts about Clifton, Westray,Mainlands (mine) Mr Traill Tom Fergus and some others. My question is, does anyone have any information on Mr. Leslie ? I am very happy with his stories and would like to know a bit about him . I would also like to know where my clipping came from, all there is is part of another article that has 1991 in it. I scanned the rather bad copy I had and am converting it to a text file, if any one is interested.
