Jan & Wayne, Mention of McLarens and Callander reminds me that I have a Christian (Christina) McLaren born about 1787 in Callander. Her parents were a Donald McLaren and a Janet McNab. Christian McLaren married James Eadie in Aberfoyle in 1816 and Christian died on 23rd August 1863 aged 76 in Shettleston, Lanarkshire. Ring any bells with anyone?
