@Tim: Love your story. How cool on two accounts. The clan confusion, now that strikes me as ironic and somewhat poetically Scottish. Strengthening the blood line — love it! Thanks for the comment…and staying in touch.

I enjoyed your Scottish tales. Years ago, I had the opportunity to travel with my Dad to visit “the homeland”. We re-traced our roots and even visited the ancestral home in Blairgowrie. For years, my Dad told me we came from the McAllister clan, only to discover during the trip we belonged to the McDonnell clan….the same clan as my (then) new wife. I was quite pleased to know we were strengthening the blood line rather than diluting it!

@Flora: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and felt that it was a wonderful (and fair retelling of the stories and experiences we shared. Was fun to share it with you!

On the noose at the Clansmen center, hat tip to Audrey for that fine piece of observation.

Awesome article guys, and a wonderful retelling of the wealth of stories we were able to relive in the Highlands. And well done for spotting that noose at Ken’s Clansman Centre – what a creepy piece of paraphernalia!

@Amanda: Thank you. Hopefully, I didn’t take Scottish storytelling license in telling it!

@Peter: Thanks. That was the idea. A bit of a frame story, you might say.

@Yeity: Laughing. Tell me how that works out.

Next time we need to disinfect our computer keyboards we’ll remember the traditional Highland method of urine.

Amazing story guys. The man looks great as well. Never been to Scotland, just visited Wales. Now I regret.
