25.01.2022 Well, I've been neglecting this page, but now with my social isolation in place (so weird for someone like me) I'm back to finishing the book. Stay tuned! This pic is Elizabeth Bowman (nee Paterson) who immigrated in 1841 from Barr village and married William Bowman. She is my great great great Grandmother.

23.01.2022 Today I printed the finished first draft of Settled. Now its off to the editor while I go to Scotland to research the prequel. Whew!!!!

23.01.2022 This is William Bowman, immigrated to SA in 1841, patriarch of the story and my great great great grandfather.

23.01.2022 This is the Mill today as opposed to the pic above taken in 1870

22.01.2022 Here I am at Cadder Church cemetery where the story of Settled all began

21.01.2022 This is the photo we believe to be of Agnes Love and James Bowman's engagement. Agnes would take her own life by swallowing rat poison just nine years later - read the book for details.

21.01.2022 Though I dont have 100% proof, several clues have led me to believe that this is Elizabeth Addison (nee Bowman) She was William and Elizabeths third daughter, born 1849. She looks quite tall?

16.01.2022 Two photos of the Swift farm #1 c.1880 #2 2018. Sad :(

14.01.2022 Discovered yesterday a small article about Andrew Johnston leaving a large sum to Inverbrackie Church - maybe this explains why Agnes is buried on church ground after taking her own life?
