Welcome to my regular piece of research, the second of two weekly blogs I publish. The Monday newsletter summarises of all the interesting history and archaeological things happening round Stirling. These are both free but if you like what I do, you can support the expenses of my archaeological digs (no salaries!) by becoming a paid subscriber. Regardless I hope you enjoy the blog and perhaps you’ll come along to a dig sometime!

This article gives a bit more information. Please note though, it talks about Captain Robert Haldane, who is not the same Robert of Robert and James Alexander Haldane.
