Karen,
Thanks for the note. When are you planning to visit Ireland and Scotland? What you wear at home will be obviously the norm in the normal course of events. If you're going to a special do, then it will depend on the occasion. You may get along to a ceilidh in Scotland!
Is that a border collie in the picture?
Hi Kare I will look forward to talking to you there,I keep my eye on America viaTime Magazin e and several friends Goug GROOTHUIS AND oS gUINNESS,I have known Os since 1965 AND dICK keyes(dick was my pastor, their books are on Amazon.in Christ David
Hi Karen delighted to know you.If you have any questions at all and especially regarding the Christian faith I am more than happy to discuss them with you.We may not always find the answers but we will have fun looking.In Christ David,you coud also be my friend on facebook and then we can live chat there too if you like.
Hello Karen, I will be pleased to help you where I can. It is not a well known fact but when I was at school many years ago teachers were not allowed to teach Scottish history, only English history. In fact there was a time when the English banned us from wearing kilts, and when the Scottish islanders had to vist the mainland they would change into trousers at certain places on the mainland and these places were called Tightruaish (I think that is the correct spelling, but it means "house of the trousers"). Thank you for your interest.
Yours, Chief Andrew
yea i agree ..its amazing insight into a forgotten past ... a different time well before us !... lucky for you that you recieved the other 1\2 of the diary .. Mine was passed down to me from my mother.. who recieved it from her father ` stepehen muir ` . The diary belonged to his father , who we think traveled from scotland and settled in northern england where we are located now. The diary is a Log from a ship , where he worked as a carpenter aprentice in his teens , it has a shipping company name in there, also it has references to joinery and drawings of his work , mathematic lines ect , it also has passeges wrote from the bible that he wrote as he traveled in pencil . Also it has little scribbles and drawings he must of done when he was bored . It has reference to a street which i searched online and found it in Dumfries scotland , where we know the Muirs were active round about 1890-1900 to .

I wish to state my case och aye
On these wild geese as they go by
They make a vee as off they fly
Sae rude in Drumnadrochit
Whit's more is all the honks they sound
As they have lift off frae the ground
That Noise man should be out a bounds
Right here in Drumnadrochit
And they're from Ireland, more's the pity
Probably frae Dublin City
The racket that they make's nae pretty
Here in Drumnadrochit
Och man frae landing if they're banned
There would be peace throughout the land
But broadswords tae the sky we'll stand
And fight in Drumnadrochit
Even Nessie,she's aye sae quiet
She doesna even tourists bite
Wild geese keep her awake all night
In lovely Drumnadrochit
I ken goose quilts are very good
And the Goose Downie warms yer blood
I'll help ye get goose down on your bed
Richt here frae Drumnadrochit
These wild geese fairly get my goat
Wi honks that issue frae their throats
I'd send them aw tae John of Groats
Nae mare in Drumnadrochit
They are all Irish, aye,tak note
no doot frae Dublin on the boat
I wud mak sure they widna float
Tae honk in Drumnadrochit
But Karen Moore Mackenzie noo
She's an entirely different brew
For I wud order tea for two
Right here in Drumndrochit.
They dinna fly like all the rest
Na, Honk and Honk and wi such zest
All ower Drumnadrochit
Nessi'e the Monster's aye all richt
For she's discreeet, stay's oot o sicht
ye're never bothered in the nicht
In peaceful Drumnadrochit
Noo these wild geese they get ma goat
Wi honks that issue frae their throats
I'd send them all tae John o Groats
Nae here in Drumnadrochit
I'm nae saying mind downie's nae good
These goose down Q
How bizarre!
