Thought I'd expand a bit and post the following little pamphlet I inherited from my Grandpa. it's a signed copy, so I assume he knew the author. I've scanned it in at 150dpi and pdf'ed it, so it's a biggish file.

it's a great little pamphlet with lots of little anecdotal stories. It'd be interesting to hear if anybody has any info to corroborate any of these or if any of it sparks off any memories of family legends. One thing that would be good to firm up on is whether the fish and ring of the glasgow coat of arms did indeed happen in Hamilton (Cadzow at the time).
