WebIntro(Matches) Descendants, F-35 & (Eckford:F-27) respectively, of the Kelso line of James & Margaret (LEARMONTH), and the engineer Robert (married Elizabeth YOUNG) are showing as an excellent match (66/67), being in a sub grouping of "clump 2", those sharing marker 570 = 18.
The next closest matches belong to descendants of Robert and Margaret (PATERSON), and James and Elspeth (TROTTER).

F-35's line can plausibly be traced back to early Kelso as far as Francis and Agnes (DICKIESON) FAIRBAIRN, married there in 1704.
F-27's is more problematic.
The earliest ancestor for F-27 is a civil engineer Robert, born Eckford, with no matching baptism handy, it is rather hard to slot him into his rightful place on the tree. His age in the only confirmed census sighting (1851 Bothwell, LKS) is unclear and could be 42,52 or 62. Given the age of his family, 42 seems the most likely, which would make him born about 1809 - not that that helps find either his birth, or death.

It is tempting to say that he's the Robert son of Alexander and Isabella (ATCHISON) who married 1808 Coldstream, given that Robert appears to have a son John born Coldstream, but that should make F-27 most closely match Robert(F-34) instead.
Robert(F-34) is in "clump 2", but one of those only GD1 from the modal for all of Lineage 1, rather than in this subgroup of "clump 2" (570-18).
