My Scottish GENES Crisis Lines / Help page lists many organisations in Scotland and in the UK which might be able to help if you are experiencing problems this Christmas season. Local representatives in the Scottish and Westminster parliaments can also assist in many cases (although not if there are live legal proceedings).

Here we go again! 😂 Every time I come to Brisbane, I always bump into distant relatives I haven't met before! This time it's Rosslyn Clayton and Kaz Luhrmann, who both descend from my four times great grandparents William Rodgers and Anne Brough from Little Dunkeld, Perthshire. When they approached me with copies of my Mount Stewart Murder book, I thought it was some weird kind of club approaching me! Great to meet them, they'll have to give me Queensland citizenship at some point! #genealogy
