T e Allan Family, Scottish/Canadian ship owners, ‘T ey Left T e World A better Place’ is the story of a family from humble beginning in 1750, who grew to become one of the largest and most prosperous ship owners of the Victorian age. Over the next 200 years the family’s infl uence spread to banking, railways, philanthropy and politics, including the suff ragette movement.
A family link to Robert Burns adds another dimension to the story.
