Dear all, I very much regret that due to many factors including a computer crash, opening up Bachuil as a Bed and Breakfast and generally not having enough hours in the day I have been out of action on the clan front for some weeks. I have just logged on and found many items that needed my attention...

On a seasonal topic I was reading the first epistle of St Peter and wondered if this might explain our surname. The reason I say this is that we are an ecclesiastic clan, whose chiefs have been hereditary abbots for many centuries, and I wonder if this is a very ancient claim to represent that holy ...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ùr We have just had power restored after a storm brought down power lines five days ago. More bad weather to come so am worried that we may not stay online for long. Would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Joy of...

I don't know if many people realise this but Dr David's daughter Agnes married the son of a wealthy Edinburgh brewing family called Bruce and therefore took the surname Livingston-Bruce. They bought a massive estate in Nyasaland (now Malawi) called Magamero. It was beautiful country but venture afte...

Our telephone number is Lismore St Moluag's Day = 01631 760 for Lismore and the rest in ddm format. It is a great number for us!

We had a visit today from about 30 members of the Neil Munro Society who arranged to come and see and hear abo...

I very much regret that the mill have come back saying that the minimum order will be very much greater than they first intimated so that we will need to order about 60m of double width cloth. I think we will have to put this onto the back burner until there is much more demad. I am sorry to have ra...

Steven Welcome to the forum. I am now convinced that the Anrothan O'Neil lines is a false trail and that there is now no room for doubt that our ancestor was Dunshleibe Ua Eochadha and that we are the the Ulaid rigdamnai. The Brehon law at the time woud make an O'Neil ineligible, the O'Neils were at...

Righto Kyle

Sounds great! Will firm up with you direct next week.

I have a clansman interested in ordering a kilt in the Livngston/Maclay/Macleay Tartan no 1488 as shown here http://www.clanlivingstone.info/Maclay.htm. I thought I would get some woven in single width (about 27ins) in heavy weight (16oz) material which is the preferred weight for pipers. It will be...
