James, my grandfather, "Shooting Hill" Davy was Maggies brother.

As regards the other thing you mentioned, the taking of traveller children by the "authorities" is something I'm only just finding out about.

For those of you who are unaware of this disgraceful and inhumane episode in Scottish history, during the 1950's and 60's, and perhaps earlier too for all I know, Scottish travellers endured a "mini-holocaust" where traveller children were lifted form campsites and put into care. Some were sent abroad to Canada, and I presume Australia too. Many have only found out recently of their traveller families. One woman I know, in her early fifties, has only just met her brother and sister in the last few months, but sadly too late to be re-united with her parents as they are both deceased.

One traveller, Sandy Stewart has written a book about his experiences, and it's time those responsible were exposed.
