This book collates the ancestry of Hughie Higgins, who was born into a travelling family at Crudie, New Byth, Aberdeenshire, Scotland on 14th November 1894. The book traces his ancestry from Shetland Isles in the north through Aberdeenshire to Fifeshire and Perthshire. Hughie finally settled in Rattray, Blairgowrie. The cause of his death on 31st January 1960 was 'chest wounds' from a bullet which had been lodged in his lung since World War One. The fingers of his left hand had also been amputated as a result of war injuries. His regiment's war diaries from the Battle of Loos, Northern France where Hughie was injured are included. This book also contains details of Hughie's parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other relatives, which will be of interest to those with wider family connections.
