About
the author...
 |
David Walker lives in Solihull, England and is the
four greats grandson of Gustavus McPherson and Diana McHardy,
who married in 1788 and lived at Tolduquhill. Since 1987 he has sought
to understand how they acquired these unusual Christian names, and how people
managed to bring up so many children in this romantic but inhospitable glen. This
site shares what he has found. Please advise any extra information
(which will be acknowledged) or
corrections to david . |
