LOL... we WILL be wearing kilts when we go... we have a formal affair that requires kilts.  Mine is a bit snug at the moment, but that will change.

Planning to get a seamstress to let it out a bit are you? ;D

Yep, Irish/American India on my father's side, Scottish on my mother's.

Good for Scotland! My great-grandfather Kennedy came from Scotland. The interesting part is when Mom was into genealogy she found out way, way back we were connected to the Irish, Catholic Kennedys of US political fame but my ancstors had a dispute with their bishop in Ireland. This dispute escalated to the point of them burning the bishop at the stake. Needless to say they were excomunicated by the Catholic church and run out of Ireland. Scotland took them in. Thus I am  of Protestant Scottish decent.

Did your ancestors ever have feuds with the Glendays? My great grand-dad came to America when he was 14 years old, by himself, worked as a carpenters helper, and went on to become the owner of a large construction company that helped to rebuild San Fransisco after the big shake. He would be proud to see this historic turn of events. Can't remember what part of Scotland he came from, but it is in the family papers somewhere.

Thanks for the post.

Well that's certainly interesting!  First I'd heard that.

When you go, you planning on renting a bike over there?

My mother was a Campbell (Campbell of Argyle)... I lived in Scotland way back in the olden days when "devolution" was just a conversation topic. Well, in September Scots will be able to vote on once again becoming a free and independent nation!  I know there are a lot of obstacles and considerations but I hope when I visit in 2015 Scotland will be well on its way to independence. This could be a truly historic time for Scots.
