Karen I've just seen your email of a month ago. I'm interested in the minister of another Orkney UP congregation, the Rev Alexander Robertson of South Ronaldsay, who later led a fascinating life in San Remo and Venice. He would have been in South Ronaldsay in the 1870s. Is there any mention of S Ronaldsay's UPs or Rev Robertson in your Kirkwall book? And is there anything of Cusiter or Isbister or Spence UPs (if indeed they were of this denomination) coming to Kirkwall from Firth/Finston in the north during the years the book covers? Hope you can help.
