Our thanks goes to Donna Thompson and Joyce Campbell of Scotland for
supplying this and many other wonderful photos mailed to
the Spottiswoode relatives in Gattonside,
Scotland, by Joseph Hopkirk in New Zealand over 100
years ago. Peter Lyal, a Spottiswoode
descendant, is now in possession of many of the original photos saved by Agnes Spottiswoode in Scotland. Many of the original letters and
photos were mailed from New Zealand by Joseph Hopkirk,
brother to John Brown Hopkirk. Here
is Donna and Peter.
