Getting another #mentalHealth record for an ancestor, and looking again at this family photo from #Melrose, and seeing if I can spot the relative I've been learning more about today. Can definitely see my great granddad and his brother (both beadles / church officers at Melrose parish, in turn). And their widowed mum, and two sisters (it was a family of 9). Also possibly my great granny. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #ScottishBorders #Scotland #Dingleton #DingletonHospital #Photography #FamilyPhotos

Also a nuanced discussion about the multitude of emotions this leads to, and the importance of acknowledging it. I’m also struck it’s the same number of generations back in time that I have a slave owning ancestor, a #Melrose man in #Jamaica, my 6xg-uncle. #BlackHistory #Slavery #DutchHistory #WDYTYA

Eildon Hills West (left) and Mid from the North Hill. I was just too slow with the camera to catch the extraordinary sight of two tiny, sillhouetted figures on horseback on the West summit. #Eildonhills #Melrose #ScottishBorders #hillwalking
