MacLeod and Leask
Family Tree
- Margaret's family has origins
in Harris in the Outer Hebrides and Aberdeenshire on her father's
side, and Perthshire and the fishing ports of East Lothian on
her mother's side. When Margaret's
boys came to live in Shetland in 1987 they knew they were returning
home in some ways as they knew that an ancestor had emigrated
from Shetland to Leith last century. They also have origins in
Edinburgh and Dumfries.
