OK, I've done the fling, I assume that Muff has sung for us, and that Dave
is providing ongoing music. So ...who's next on the entertainment list?
Surely someone has a darn good yarn for us? After all the good food and
fervent activity, it is well past time for us to take a bit of a break while
we listen to a story! :o)

Hello all,
Having returned from our trip to Calgary and waded through the 656 e-mails in the inbox ( Phew) , I'm pleased to report that we have a new granddaughter named Jessica, born 5th June, weighing 8lbs 12 ozs.
On the return journey we were able to stop in for a visit with Jessie and Malcolm, and spent a very enjoyable evening with them. I know Jessie has already posted about us being " almost related ", so I won't go into that again !
While scrolling through the messages that had accumulated, I noti
Does anyone know, or know where I can find, the origin of the name

Thanks Elizabeth & Jim - LOL re the point about why the Scots make whiskey
so well!
If I have it right, the southwest portion of Scotland has a more moderate
climate than the north and northeast. Any grapes there? How about the
lowlands or borderlands? I've noticed a tendency to equate Scotland with
only the Highlands - and that would be like equating the state of Missouri
with the Ozark Mountains - there's a variety in both places.

I was very interested to read about your theories on tartans. I always had a
liking for tartans even before marrying into a Scottish family. I grew up with
a British Army Bandmaster for a father and in that context I was exposed to
many of the different tartans in military parades, tattoos etc. I
Please ...I really would love to read a good story! Not only do I need
some relief from all the dancing and gorging on wonderful food, but I'm
being driven nuts be my connection continuously dropping out - so some

wonderful stories about her mother/grandmother from South America? And
Amber, and her delightful tales about constantly moving house? Or somebody?

That reminds me of the Birthday cake made by my then 16 year old daughter

He was Donovan Leitch, probably a cousin somewhere along the line,
