Murial Carruthers and her daughter Jeanette travelled all the way from Warrington in Cheshire to visit Leith Hall on 22nd August. They flew to Aberdeen especially to visit the home of her ancestor, Norman Leith Hay. Murial discovered the connection shortly before Leith Hall was closed by NTS and thought she would never be able to visit the " family home ". Thanks to Friends of Leith Hall and the volunteers she has now been able to see how, and where, her ancestors lived, view portraits of them and step back in time.
