I produced that item for yesterday's show. I can't claim to have any relatives in Uist, but I've been there many times and would have loved to have been there for the Hogmanay ceilidh last night. It's a fantastic place! Carol Zall Thanks for the feedback, Steven. I produced that item for yesterday’s show.

Many of my ancestors came from South Uist, emigrating first to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia and and from there to New England. During the 1970s and 1980s my father used to travel Scotland playing golf, and at the end of the day on the links in South Uist, playing the 19th hole in local pubs, met many cousins who were able to determine not only that they were related to my dad, but often the exact degree of consanguinity. Great stuff!
