My Nanna and Papa made the biggest decision of their life's to take their 11 children all the way to Australia from Scotland in 1960! This is now a part of history and I couldn't be prouder to be part of the McCann clan!

I am the granddaughter of one of Annie's children and so honoured to have my family's story displayed on the Welcome Walls. The McCann family is so strong and that is down to the love and strength of Papa and Granny. We still feel their love today even though they have both passed. Go McCann clan!
