We all find things in our genealogical researching that we do not like but my attitude is always someone had to do it. Oh if only our ancestors could have been perfect - but then would we have liked them as much? I so much want to find more stories about the illicit whisky making and smuggling that was rife in Rogart. Betya my folks were chief whisky makers!

Just down the road was my paternal 3xgt grandfather (Gray) and his Mackenzie wife --- poor crofters who probably had friends in Culrain..... I feel very sad.
