Agnes Campbell Walls, our paternal grandmother, lived what always seemed to be on the surface a life of her times, a post war widow on a pension living in a modest council house in Dunfermline Scotland. Agnes travelled a lot, not just in Scotland but over Europe and Africa. It was from the parents of Agnes, James Walls and Catherine Burt, that the story took an interesting turn.  It is unlikely that Agnes knew of all the more distant names and history that we have so far traced here but along with her eldest son (our father) they were aware of links and family business matters  that spanned several generations.
