By Roz, on February 7th, 2010%  The above gentleman is not a direct ancestor of mine, but he was the second husband of my ggg grandmother Louisa Maria Loveday. (My ggg grandfather Captain John Inglis was born in 1805 -we think in Midlothian- and died in India in 1849)
After Captain Inglis’ death Louisa and her children moved to Edinburgh. In 1853-54 Louisa and John Pourie met and fell in love, (after mutual intercessionary prayers and a great deal of soul searching, the book would have us believe) and became engaged . . . → Read More: The Rev.

I hope that the reader may make some allowances as he runs his eye through what was certainly never intended for publication of this sort; my only excuse for now reprinting these old circular letters it the belief that others may perhaps be fired to follow our example; and if the pleasure given to some loved ones be even measurably near to what our random letters gave, I will not have given the hint for naught.

By John, on January 18th, 2008% The following article is an extract from Oor Ain Folk by James Inglis regarding his brother Thomas Chalmers Inglis.
