Good morning Voornaam

 

Finally, we can start a newsletter excitedly saying that the sun is out and it's (probably) here to stay! We're all recovering from a lovely, stormy bank holiday and are now back to the grind. 

 

So lather on the sun cream as we talk you through the biggest stories of the day.

Next up, an incredible tale of a woman digging through her family history to find The Real Mackay from the famous saying (ironically often the Americanised version The Real Macoy now used - which isn't the real one, the Real Mackay that is). 

 

"About eight years ago I came across a scrap of paper among my mother’s family tree research which sparked my curiosity. Apparently we had a Mackay ancestor who was not only a comedian and friend of Walter Scott but also the origin of the well-known phrase The Real Mackay.

Don't forget you can keep up with news with our daily live blog. 

 

Have a wonderful day
