I was reading about the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides. It is the ancestral home of the McDuffie Clan. One thing which caught my attention was the discovery of a hazelnut factory dating back to 6000 BC.

These islands were not only occupied but engaged in interesting activities.

The Hebrides are where my husband’s ancestors are from.

Yeah, hazelnuts, sounds fascinating. :^) My great-grandmoother's family came from the Hebrides, I won't say where, because of the possibility of having to resume some feud. ;^)
