  • In November last year I was given access to the photographic archive at Swanleigh for a project I am working on. I have some scans for the period 1949-1957 which was our families time there. I am happy to share them. Just contact me.

  • I think George Aitken is my birth father. I have exhausted all means in finding him. Even a photo would be so appreciated
