Just an added note re family: My great-great-grandparents must have at one time lived on the Isle of Skye as their son (my great-grandfather Stephen Anderson and his sister Isabella were both baptised on the island). James and Jessie Anderson (he was a shepherd) arrived in Australia on the "Salsette" on 2 January, 1841 with their family. They finally settled on a property "Lollipop Ponds" near Werribee, Victoria. I have researched the family thoroughly and have been delighted to find out so much about them. (Incidentally, this is my birth family that I learned about in the 1990s. I had waited until mum and dad were gone before I attempted to find my roots).

FRIDAY FAVOURITES
I have always enjoyed to the Skye Boat Song and while searching for it on YouTube I found a version I'd not heard before sung by the Corries. I believe there are other versions included here as well. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
