Ancestry Tours of Scotland

Scots have emigrated to almost every country in the world, to Australia, to Canada, to New Zealand to the USA. Many of their descendants visit Scotland to trace their Scottish ancestry, some of them have detailed, or not so detailed, information, about their roots in Scotland. I organize Scottish ancestry tours of Scotland where there is an emphasis on Scottish genealogy and Scottish family history, showing tour guests the places where their ancestors lived, and worked, in Scotland.

Ancestry Tours of Arbirlot Scotland

Ancestry Tours of Arbirlot, near Arbroath, Scotland. An old view of the Mill at Arbirlot. Arbirlot is a village in a rural parish of the same name in Angus, Scotland. The current name is a contraction of Aberelliot, meaning mouth of the Elliot. It is located west of Arbroath. The main village settlement is on the Elliot Water. The parish is believed to be the original home of Clan Elliot, which was transplanted in the Scottish Borders to defend the newly-crowned Robert the Bruce's Scotland from English invaders through an intricate network of peel towers. The Elliots joined the clans of Armstrong, Scott, Douglas, Kerr, Nixon, Hepburn and Maxwell in this effort. The Border Reivers and other titles such a Outlaws of the Marshes are most informative about the Elliots and their exploits after leaving the Arbirlot parish.
