...Scot to Scot...
Welcome to Scot to Scot – the section of Find-It-In-Scotland which brings Scots together – globally. Wherever you are in the world – (you don’t have to be Scottish) – you can make contact with Scots – worldwide. Whether Scots born & bred, of Scottish descent, with any kind of Scottish connection…or no Scottish connection…it doesn’t matter – if you want to make contact with Scots…you’re in the right place.
(Folks, the site is only a few days old, and using a completely new hosting service and system, so till 1st Jan, it may be a bit slow, when the techies are working on it. Please bear with us, and all will soon be well. Or, "A' sortit oot", as we say.) 
. "Scots proverb: a tint clog maun be eith tae repose, but a tint freend isnae!" (a lost shoe may be easy to replace, but a lost friend is not!)
Want to make contact with somebody from a particular place – city/town/village/street/farm/hamlet – just leave the details on the form below. If it's the place itself you’re interested in, for family reasons, tell us what you want to find out about it – information on particular people, events etc – however long ago. Maybe you want photos of that place... then and now?
***** (Search Tip:- this page/ form is for finding people. places and things which are personal to you and/ or your family. If you want us to find something other than these, we recommend you use the
find-it-in-scotland form
*****
Want to contact a club/society/association that you, your family or friends have some association with – maybe a rugby/football/swimming curling etc club – that your Father, Mother, Great Uncle Douglas played for – name the club you want information/photos/ details of championships etc – Maybe your Great Aunt Morag receiving her rugby cup-winners medal for the Kelso Sevens of 1932!
Maybe it’s a social club that you want information/photo history of: just leave the name and place of the particular club – no matter how long ago the association was.
Maybe you just want pictures of a particular sporting/social event – The Hibs/Celtic/Rangers/Hearts team picking up the Scottish Cup in a particular year; The Scottish Rugby Grand Slam team of 19** – you get the idea. Put as much detail as you can on the form at the foot of the page.
Are you trying to find information on a relative or friend that was in a particular Scottish Regiment/ Battalion/ RAF Unit/ Naval Base or Ship… however long ago? Do you want to see if anybody ‘out there’ served with them, maybe has photos of their time together. Would you like to trace someone YOU served with? Just leave the required details below.
Remember – Scots around the world will be looking at your request for information – somebody ‘out there’ knows what you are looking for and somebody can probably help. We will include your search details on the website, so that you can harness the power of the Scots Abroad network. However, if you don't want us to do this, please hit the NO button on the form below. ***** Details for the request form... ...WE'll do our best to help you find what you're looking for; but for this, we need as much and as many details as YOU can provide. Obviously, some requests will need less info. than others; a desire for a photograph of a street in Turriff would not require as much help as a request to trace Sergeant Jimmy Mac****** from The Black Watch in 1958, or wee Jeannie A*******r who lived next door to your Granny in Auchtermuchtie. And the more you help us, the more likely we will be to come up with the goods. As an example, though, here are some ideas for helping to find someone: Which club/society/ Regiment/ Ship etc, you are interested in. Full details of the person(s) you are trying to find information about – full name, age, if still alive, how old they were at the time they had the Scottish association, when he or she lived in the place/ was a member of the Club/ Association/ had the Forces connection; a little bit of background on them (if possible) and a little bit of background on their association with the Scottish institution (If you have it). Addresses, names of employers, names of Friends... ...and anything else you may think of.
