We have done some work on him and have found that my Grandfathers, my mothers and my own strange big toe is in fact passed down from him... they were known to have evolved a ‘claw toe’ that came about from 2,000 years of cliff climbing for bird eggs.

He told me of bushrangers in StKilda Road which I found it hard to believe, but he was right. I am an Honorary member of the StKilda Historical Society and have lived in Perth WA since 1971.<br />I visited the island of StKilda in 1963 when it had a small army presence and presented the two-volume history of its Aussie namesake to the local library (yes, there was one then). Also visited the beautiful town of Perth in Scotland the same year.
