Hello, My maiden name is Aird – and I can´t help but notice the similarity to the town´s name! My paternal great grand-father was Scottish but emigrated to British Guiana (now Guyana). My father moved to Canada in his early 20´s … I´d love to know anything I can about my last name – so if anyone knows if there is actually anything to the similarity, please contact me (raineaird82@gmail.com)!

Hello Trish and Alastair: I just found this site but know you wrote a long time ago. I am writing from US my maiden name is Reid and my Mother is a Gardner. Both families came from Airdrie in 1870 or so to U.S. I have been looking into what the situation was like and what the family names and ties are to this area. Thank you for anyone knowing these family names. We go back to 1600′s on both sides of the family in this area.

I am in the process of searching my family tree and have come across a building named Hallcraig House, my Gran and Grandad lived there when they were first married. Its no longer there, replaced by a car park, but I would be interested in a description or, even better, a photograph. Hope someone can help. The family name is Reid if that’s helpful.
