Also I'm not away of emigration from here to either PEI or Red River, so I don't think Lewis was an object of Selkirk's attention. Though no doubt his theories on emigration informed later policies implemented here, by Matheson for instance. (the theory: http://www.hebrideanconnections.com/Details.aspx?subjectid=40714) If anyone knows of a connection with our Doctor we'd be glad to hear of it though.
