Interesting reply. I am interested in all kinds of details about people, that's why I studied psychology. I lived all my childhood in various parts of Scotland. In Invernesshire (Highlands) between age of 10 to 15. I might be able to get my Dad to send a picture on the computer and then try and transfer it (with help!). The posting rules says "may not post attatchments" so does that mean I can't post any pictures?

It is beautiful in the Highlands. My great grandfather on my paternal side was a victim of the Highland clearances. While he was out playing in the hills as a small child, his family was forced to leave at very short notice and go to Canada. He got left behind, but luckily he was taken into another family.
My great grandfather on my maternal side was the chief woodcutter to the last Tsar of Russia. (Finns living in St Petersburg area). They were rich (he ran the business rather than actually doing the manual work) but had to abandon everything, except what they could carry when the revolution happened and flee to a safer part of Finland. (Karelia was taken over by the Russians). The fact that this happened to my ancestors probably affected my political/philosophical outlook to some extent.
