I'm very proud of this handsome woman of the land, my grandmother. Not only did she raise ten children, she was the victim of many years of violent abuse from an alcoholic spouse at a time when a woman had no option but to endure.

She never forgot her Scottish heritage and continued the family tradition of naming children Colin and/or Campbell despite being several generations distant from her Campbell ancestor. She taught my mother to be strong and independent and to love everything Scottish, and Mum passed that on to me.
