1st
Photo: Blairmains Farm Scotland (May
2000.Visited & photographed by Del Walker.)
The farm is thought to be the birthplace of William Kerr (1801) and was the birthplace George Kerr 1830(page 24)and is now a Bed
& Breakfast establishment. Del found it by chance when driving the
wrong way down a one way street. The farm building at left of
picture is the original farm house. The stables were in that
lower portion to the right in the photo, now converted to guest rooms.
The glassed in annex has been only recently built on. The house sits next
to Junction 5 of the M8 Motorway. It is ideally situated with Edinburgh,
Glasgow and surrounding areas all within a 30 minute drive." Phone/ Fax

2nd Photo: Del Walker & Nan(Agnes) Kerr at the old Kerr headstone in Kirk
O'Shotts cemetery SC (May 2000). Nan was the daughter of Andrew Kerr (page14)
who taught guitar and lived in Glasgow. She was awarded an OBE in 1993
for service to the community.(Nan taught guitar and mandolin to Prisoners
at the Shotts jail for over 20 years).
Sadly Nan died in Glasgow c.July 2003.
An issue of the Shotts Family History magazine carried a
story about Andrew Kerr and his daughters Margaret (Peg) and Nan during the 1950's (A tribute to the Kerrs of Hillhouseridge Farm)
