To everyone celebrating #BurnsNight, have a brilliant evening
I’ll also remember and raise a glass to my grandparents, William and Agnes, who married in Edinburgh on 25 January 1895 then took ship to the #Calabar to join #MarySlessor in her mission
William had not long graduated from #Glasgow as a doctor, Agnes would assist where she could. 23 and 22, neither had ever left #Scotland
To make that journey was so brave, whatever your opinion of ‘Empire’
