Hi Stephanie, I have done a bit of research on McDougalls from Colonsay. In what part of Bruce County did your McDougalls settle? Thank you for your interest in Come Dance With Me Following is a promo from our local paper with a few details added in red LOCAL AUTHOR COMPLETES SEVENTH BOOK Mary MacKay has completed another historical narrative about early settlement in this area. Whereas her previous six books were focused on families who immigrated from Colonsay, Scotland and are buried in Rusk's Cemetery on Sideroad Five just off Concession 10, Elderslie, this one has a more personal touch. ICome Dance With Me is based on my husbands great great grandmother who came from Islay with her grandchildren leaving behind her sons and daughters. One of the grandsons was our Hugh McKay who lived to be 90. I have woven real experiences of pioneers into his life and the lives of his children and grandchildren.It starts in Islay explaining the reason for leaving, the horrible trip over , building the house, bear stories, peddlars , Indians, Christmas and Hogmany customs, fairies and superstitions and lots more. 'COME DANCE WITH ME, A Grandmother's Tale of Pioneer Days' takes you from the adventures of a modern-day grandmother with her grandchildren, back one hundred and fifty-seven years into the lives of their pioneer ancestors who immigrated to Canada from Islay, Scotland. As you listen to their conversations and share in their activities, you become a part of the family. You will shed a tear and share a smile with Catharina, the pioneer grandmother, who came to this country at seventy-six years of age. Your heart aches when her grandson Hugh and his wife, Agnes, bury all three of their daughters. The grandparent/grandchild relationship returns when Hugh and Agnes undertake the care of their four-year-old granddaughter, and again when Hugh, in his ninetieth year, shares his memories and stories about hobgoblins from Islay with his young grandsons. 'COME DANCE WITH ME' is a fascinating story of pioneer days brought to life with many pictures and very real experiences.
