The group sets out on a tour of Arran.
The trip to the Isle of Arran for 17 descendants of John Hamilton and Margaret Cumming took place in August 2018. According to the Restigouche County, New Brunswick Census of 1851, John and Margaret arrived from the Isle of Arran in 1828. Passed down through family history stories, it was often said that the family of five, John, Margaret and their three children James, Catherine and Ann, arrived on the brig Caledonia.
The trip to Arran was two years in the planning and on August 9, 2018, the descendants from across Canada and the United States, waited as a ferry sailed into the harbour at Ardrossan.
