Are any of these your relatives?
I was doing some research in the "Galt Daily Reporter" December 2, 1911
and came across this little article. (Galt is now part of Cambridge,
Ontario, Canada.)
"SCOTTISH CURLERS WHO WILL VISIT CANADA
The following is a list of players of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club
of Scotland who are to tour Canada this winter as sent by J.A.
MacFadden, Secretary of the O.C.A.
Rink One. Captains' Rink............
Rink Two. Secretaries Andrew Blair of Aberfoyle

Each rink will wear a distinguishing tartan.
