    Hi, thanks for your help, have looked at many sites with no luck.
    As you probably know im new at this and apoligise for that.
    I am off this weekend to Stornoway as my grandparents ran a pub there and try and find out more about them. I will then be going to Wick & Keiss on the way back to find out more there.if you send anything and do not get an answer you will know why. Again many thanks.
