Family history info for Roslyn Lang?
My name is Roslyn Lang, my Grandmother was Mary Gray, her Parents were Robert & Margaret Gray and she lived in Garvald till approx. 1908. She travelled to Sydney, Aust. and later met and married Robert Scott Stewart, who was from Helensburgh, Scotland. They had one child, my father, who was also Robert Scott Stewart. If anyone has any information about Mary Gray I would appreciate it. I would like to know her family’s address in Garvald if that is possible. I intend to come back to Garvald again & would like to know where she lived.
Thanking you, Roslyn Lang

Local garden open as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme
Garvald Grange garden is open as part of the national open gardens scheme. The owners have transformed this garden over the last 24 years from a bare landscape into a haven for wildlife. Beehives feature in the orchard and vegetables, shrubs, roses and herbaceous plants grow in the small walled garden beside the house, under a huge walnut tree. There are two ponds with a resident population of mallard and several new woods plus mature oak coppice and other hardwoods. For more information, see the Scotland’s Gardens website.
