I am also from Aberdeen and met Annie Lennox there back in 1983 after the Eurythmics concert at the students union. I was with my school friend and we were leaving via a fire exit door with a copy of sweet dreams 7” single in my bag, bought that day in Boots, and we heard Annie voice and a strong presence stood at the top of the stairs in a blue flying suit and bright orange hair, ask us and others on a nearby staircase if we wanted to join her and Dave for their backstage party. She was so nice to meet and both of them signed my single. Dave Stewart was not as sociable as Annie was but then everyone seemed to want to speak to her. It was a lovely experience meeting Annie Lennox 🎉😊❤

Annie Lennox is class from top to toe.

Nice to see Annie tracing her ancestry, and her soft Scottish accent and voice is music to the ears.
Scotland can be proud of her.

so sad how hard life was for most people back then they were definetely not the good old days

Annie Lennox......classy, beautiful, a wonderful singer and just so gracious......a lovely human being

I have to say the BBC version of this show is so much better than the USA/Canada.  Longer episode, more in-depth, way less repetition and sensationalizing.

This story would have been so common in the victorian times, its still heart breaking to know

Annie Lenox is so uniquely beautiful.  Add that to her talent.  Yay Annie Lennox.

Fascinating episode, your ancestors would be enormously proud of you Annie, because your commitment to the poor has been exemplary.
Thank you for that empathy and love , God Bless and keep you.

Annie has been one of my generations most influential and respected woman of our time. She is one of my favourite all time female singers.

You can hear the humanity in Annie's voice when she sings. I've always loved her. One of my first memories ever is of dancing around to 'Must be an angel' when I was 4 years old.

Annie is a beautiful person, inside and out. She's an icon.

It was fascinating to see that her grandparents worked at Balmoral and that her grandfather once danced with the Queen Mother. How incredibly unique is that! And even though I agree that poverty is horrible, I disagree that there is no difference between poverty in the country and poverty in the city. I think it is worse to be poor in the city, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, because of all the pollution, the lack of sanitation, and the incredible overcrowding. At least in the country there is clean air and space to live. Her city grandmother barely made it to 39 years old while her country grandmother lived to be 83, which was quite remarkable in those days. But what is undeniably true is that both had incredibly hard lives.

Many years ago, a good friend said, after listening to Annie sing, she uses her voice like an instrument. A pleasure to hear her voice and watch her. Thank you Annie for many years of enjoyment.

What a lovely and talendted woman this annie Lennox, thank you so much for sharing your heart.

One of the best shows of the entire series.

How proud her ancestors would of been at the woman Annie Lennox became, and her constant fight against poverty that they had the misfortune to live. Their sacrifices although unknown to them back then ensured that so many people's lives have been improved by the amazing Annie Lennox and her charitable workings. Plus she is my favorite singer ever and one of two people I admire.

Annie must rest assured her musical career gave voice to all her ancestors. They would be so proud of her.

Such a strong and beautiful to match a strong and beautiful woman. I have always respected and admired her. She gives back so much and not for good press, but because she truly cares.

Wow, what a fascinating journey for Annie it show what fine stock she came from and it also show  what a wonderful and respectful person she is today.
