Summary

Biographical information about Stanley Robertson's MacDonald grandfather; psychic powers from his grandmother.

Stanley Robertson's maternal grandfather was English, but he changed his name from Brookes to MacDonald. His people were hotel owners in England, and he himself always dressed like a gentleman. He ran away and joined a circus at the age of twelve, in the 1840s. At sixteen, he met up with Travellers and later married Stanley's grandmother.

These Highland Travellers were psychic, and this has been passed on to Stanley. He recounts an experience of seeing his granny, even though she died before he was born.
