Royal Deeside : Information and Announcements

We need your help.

Welcome to this newly revised website for Royal Deeside. Please accept our apologies for any omissions and errors that you find. We are a small but hard-working group of 'volunteers'. We face the usual dilemma of either publishing our efforts to date or delaying until that magical date when we are completely satisfied. We believe it is better to take the former path and ask you, the reader, to help us get to our goal quicker.

Enquiries and comments from readers are constantly fascinating. They range from the expected to the very unexpected, from the mundane to the exotic. Some people are trying to contact friends or relatives, others are seeking information about ancestors who left Royal Deeside for the colonies many decades ago. Some will ask about wheelchair facilities others about the name of John Brown's brother. The list is endless, so please feel free to get in touch.
