Destination of the Month:
Edinburgh
In June we supported Scott on a break in Edinburgh to explore his family history. Did you know consultation appointments can be made? Scott and Companion Agnes settled in at their hotel and enjoyed time in the city. With a morning start at ScotlandsPeople Centre, they used the facilities of the Dundas Search Room for an all-day exploration. You can bring a laptop to type up notes about the records that you find and save copies of historical records to your account.
