Extractions: Failte! This site is dedicated to one of my main interests in life: Scotland and all things Scottish. My ancestors, James Hunter, his wife Margaret, and their daughter Jane, set sail on a schooner from Greenock to New Brunswick, Canada, in the month of June, 1846. On September 5, 2002, I took off on an airplane from Boston to Glasgow, accompanied by my brother and his wife. This was a trip of a lifetime, dreamed about for years. We spent ten glorious days touring around the country, and if you care to read about it and see the photos, you can find it here April 6th is Tartan Day On April 6, 1320, the Scottish people addressed a letter to Pope John XXII, enumerating their many grievances against Edward II, the English king, asserting their right to choose their own government, and declaring their independence from England. Sound vaguely familiar? This document is called the Arbroath Declaration , as is was written at the abbey in the town of the same name. Clicking the hypertext will bring you to a site with the full textcheck out the similarities in substance between it and the Declaration of Independence. Without question, Thomas Jefferson was acquainted with the Arbroath Declaration, as several of his tutors were Scots. The Congress of the United States, as well as the Legislature of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have, in recognition of the many contributions people of Scottish descent have made to all facets of life, declared that April 6 of each year is Tartan Day.

Extractions: The Highland Games As with much of Scottish history, the origin of the Games is firmly rooted in legend and folklore. It is a popular folk story that organized competitions were initiated in order to improve the strength of soldiers and runners for communications by Malcolm Canmore, who ruled Scotland from 1057 to 1092. Regardless, during nearly two-thousand turbulent years of recorded history, the Scots have maintained a unique sense of community. We gather to renew family ties, to share family history, to trade and to compete.
