Andrew or Robert MacMillan...
My name is Lisbeth Norskov and I am from Denmark. I am looking for Andrew or Robert MacMillan whose family lives or used to live in Broughty Ferry. I used to work with Andrew MacMillan in Notting Hill, London in the period from 1985 to 1987 at Vincent House. I would like to get in touch with either Andrew or his brother, Robert. I happened to visit Broughty Ferry for Christmas in 1985, a lovely place, by the way. Andrew and Robert have an older sister, as well, whose name I do not recall. If you happen to know this family, would you kindly inform them about my attempt to get in touch with them?

I may be in completely the wrong direction - I am actually looking for information about Cairnie Pier and the Broughty Ferry came up on the screen.  Is this anywhere near Cairnie Pier ?     I am looking for information about this place and also for information about my great great grandfather, Andrew Goldie Brown (Wife Christina Waddell ) and his family who left there about 1854 to emigrate to NZ.   Would love some information to turn up regarding the family and/or the pier.  Hopefully thank you !

I'm searching for a former pen pal that I corresponded with 1964-65 who was from Broughty Ferry.  His name is Alistair Smith.  We were in a school pen pal program and I received his address.  I was 13 at the time.  My name was Connie Webb and lived in Orleans, Indiana.Many years have passed since I enjoyed writing to Alistair.  I remember talking about the Beatles, mostly!  I'm 51 now, so Mr. Smith would be approximately the same.  We have visited your beautiful country many times over the years and think it is one of the loveliest places on earth! Love and blessings to you at Broughty Ferry!

Came across this site while trying to search for relatives. My grandparents came from Scotland in the mid 1920’s. Their names were Edward and Dorothy (Christiansen) Mearns.  They had 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls, the boys Douglas and Edward were born in Scotland.  Would love to know if anyone knew of this family.
