About Me

Have run my own genealogy and family history business, Heart of Scotland Ancestry since 2016. Extensive experience of Scottish research including experience at local and national archives. I offer a range of products for clients from a record look up at our wonderful archives across Scotland, help to overcome that annoying brick wall or a tailored Family Tree package as a special gift. In my research, I draw on my 30-year experience as a police officer in Scotland and my love of Scotland's history and its place in the world.
