Ar Turas was founded in 1996 by its proprietor Rosaline Furnivall. Rosaline is a Scottish Ethnology honours graduate of the School of Scottish Studies at Edinburgh University. She is a professional genealogist and researcher focusing mainly on Scotland and the Scots.

Born in Edinburgh in 1958, Rosaline is passionate about Scotland, Scottish culture and Scottish heritage and through Ar Turas is able to bring Scotland to people all over the world.

The name Ar Turas comes from Rosaline's take on genealogy. When she works on projects for customers she embarks on a journey, taking the client through their Scottish heritage and, through the genealogy plus service, bringing that history and heritage to life. Unlike other companies, nothing is hidden with our research. Everything we find is provided as part of the finished project. 

Put simply, Ar Turas is from the Gaelic for Our Journey.
