​Clan  Family News
On November 17, 2017 Alex Cridland, son of Clan member Barb Cridland and husband Jeff (grandson of Marion and Don Hunter), received his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from McMaster University. His degree and thesis are in Astrophysics. Alex has now obtained a three-year post-doctoral position at Leiden University in Leiden, Netherlands, where he will continue his research in that field. He returned to Canada for a week to attend his graduation, attend a wedding and visit with family and friends. He has set up Blog and Instagram accounts so we can follow his activities in the Netherlands. We wish him well in this new venture.

Clan Hunter UK - Madame Pauline
I had the very great pleasure to welcome the Rev. Walcott Hunter and his wife Teri to Hunterston Castle. This had been a long awaited visit by them both. Walcott's mother Dr. Nadene Hunter was one of our very first Clan Hunter members and had visited Hunterston with her daughter Nadene several times.
Very sadly Nadene had died just before Walcott and Teri's visit. Nadene had spoken to me of her wish to have some of her ashes placed at Hunterston, which I was very happy to agree to. 
In memory of Nadene, Walcott conducted a service of committal and buried Nadene's ashes beneath their family Memorial tree, opposite the Castle, where she will always be near to her Scottish roots.
