Turnbulls proudly preserve their ancestral heritage
FORMER Provost Myra Turnbull admitted Saturday's clan gathering celebrations were "a dream come true".
An estimated 600 Turnbulls from all over the world converged on the town for the historic event, which was organised as part of the Homecoming 2009 programme. And it came 32 years after the Clan Association was first formed by Mrs Turnbull and her late husband John.
She told the Hawick News: "It's going back 32 years when my husband and I started off the Association and it was his dream and vision to have a gathering. Saturday was the icing on the cake."
