Love the Tattoo - been four times I think. Have to have a serious look at my finances to see if I can make this though as I wasn't planning another trip until I retire. The tattoo is an absolutely wonderful experience, and I too urge clan members to go if they can. Kaye on the other side of the earth

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to this and I will drop Sue a note about the family. Just butting in here to say that I did transcribe, from the Registers in St John's, Ballachullish, the marriage of Charles Livingston and Dorothy McColl, both residing in Laroch on the 16th of May 1842. I ...

I trust that all goes well for you and the family in your sale and the move, and only wish that I could afford to buy it. I would love to live in Scotland, and to actually be in the area of my ancestors would be fantastic - but unrealistic for me, although I do hope to visit at some stage (having dr...

Welcome 4th cousin. While I'm not a descendant of Charles and Dorothy, my great grandmother Janet/Jessie was their neice and she came out to New Zealand with them. Janet and her brother Dugald were orphaned in the mid 1840's and then they lived with C&D. Dugald did not come out to New Zealand bu...

Congratulations David - sounds like a great day for you and your fiancee to get married. You may like to go the really old fashioned way of wearing a plaid - as Jamie does in "Outlander" - you just self pleat it and then roll yourself into it :D . I believe it takes a lot of agility and pr...

One of my colleagues downloaded this for me, and I must say I really enjoyed it. It was great to see Lismore (having only seen it from the road to Oban), and also to hear how Lismore is pronounced - in all my 30 years of researching in the area I've been saying it incorrectly :-) It was lovely to se...

Apologies for the delay in publicly thanking Jill also - I haven't been to our forum since before I left on leave on Dec 21. However I have emailed Jill personally to thank her for having the courage to take up the position of Secretary when the Society was being set up. But I would also like to do ...

Now, after doing some websurfing I see that things are in limbo and The Gathering doesn't appear to be taking place
Will be watching for updates with great interest.

Hi Jay, First of all, you want to go to your travel agent and ask him/her to put a package together for you: flights, hotels etc. I do not know how long you intend to stay in Scotland, but a few ideas spring to mind. I see that the Highland Games Masters Games Championships are being held the secon...

I am also planning to attend - I moved my 2 month sojourn from July/Aug 2013 to July/Aug 2014 so I could be there at the time of the gathering. I'm sorry it's not going to be in Edinburgh - free board there :-) (is my Scottish heritage showing?) but am looking forward to catching up with clan member...
