David found out from his Mother that his Grandfather use to play football professionally. To find out more about Archie's footballing career, David pays a visit to his Uncle John, who reveals that, after being capped for the Scottish Juniors, Archie was signed by Derry City Football Club.
Famous for playing the time-traveller Dr Who, David Tennant has decided to abandon the Tardis and investigate his own history.
David was born in Bathgate, a post-industrial town between Glasgow and Edinburgh, in 1971. His father, Alexander McDonald, is a minister in the Church of Scotland. David changed his second name, as many actors do. Tennant being inspired by The Pet Shop Boy's Neil Tennant.
Beginning his historical investigations by focusing on his father's side of the family, David quickly discovered that the paper trail goes cold relatively early on. This means David's hope of tracing his family back to the time of the clans would take a huge amount of research, so he instead turned his attention to the ancestry of his maternal grandfather, Archie McLeod.
