Some years back we had our family ancestry traced back over two hundred years, our grandfather came from Mull and we are supposedly related to one of the foremost doctor/surgeon in the world at that time in Edinburgh.The geneaology was traced by a company in London.

Great to read I to am a descendant of Margaret one of the seven sisters. I am desperately trying to establish the link between the Beaton’s on the Ross of Mull and the Medical Beaton’s , but have got stuck at Roderick Beaton born in 1709 ,( the sisters Grandfather.) If anyone else knows anything about this link then please e-mail me. Unfortunately I have been unable to trace any Doctors in my search but there are a few nurses and my son is considering medicine as a career.

was great to read this as I am decended from Christina one the the seven beaton sisters (decended from the doctors of Mull). As far as I know the sisters also possessed great medical knowledge. I have six close relatives who are doctors or nurses – maybe its hereditary!
