Connections follows the lives of members of one family of clan Robertson (formerly clan Donnachaidh), a clan identified by some as the oldest in Scotland reaching back to the 11th. century. Starting with the earliest recorded ancestor in Newburn, Fife in 1696 the family is traced through Cupar, Fife to Edinburgh, then south to London and eventually to the United States. Descriptions are enhanced by providing the reader with a backdrop of both the historical and social fabric of the times. Connections also describes the links between different family members. For example, a treasure trove of information was found about a famous Scottish bridge builder, a controversial leader of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and the exploits of an exceptional and courageous athlete whose backgrounds were all interwoven.
