SCOTS MYTHS

[Reverend Mother]

We are Scottish too. My family comes from Stranraer and Glasgow. The family came across the pond the the 1860's. They settled in Nebraska. My children took Scottish dancing lessons and my son got a Bronze Madal for it. I wanted them to take up the Pipes, but lessons were beyond my reach and I couldn't be sure that they would stay with it. When we can, we go to the St. Andrew's Highland Games. I'd love to one day go to the Grandfaher Mountain Games in South Carolina, here in the US in June. In the US we have a magazine called the Highlander, if anyone is interested. It covers all things Scottish, here and in Scotland.
I love all the movies of Scotland, one of my favorites is the "Water Horse". Of course I can't leave out the BBC's series of " Monarch of the Glen " !! For those of you that haven't seen it in the US, it's really good, the Scottish scenery is just beautiful. It's like being there yourself.

Dizziayr , Have you gone to , oh gads,what's called... Kings Mary Close ? How about Greyfriars Covenant cemetery ? Forgive me , please, they have been on the SyFy channel , Scariest Places , I think. Are they as bad as theynare discribed on the tv ? Or is just for show and ratings ?

Being of Scottish ancestory, from the Orkkney Islands, I always am interested in anything related to its history, mythology, legends, and myths. Sometime the lines between the history part and legend part can get very fuzzy.

My family is from Ayrshire, I was raised in Scottish tales and myths and legends and folklore from my entire family.
Good to see more Scots here.
"It's guid to be merry and wise,
It's guid to be honest and true,
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause
And bide by the buff and the blue."

Scottish, Graham clan, Pebbles and Edinburgh, but I am born in the USA. Our family's high Sensitivity goes back to my grandmother, who I knew well, and traces down the female side to my daughter. I am sure that it goes much farther back.

Thanks for the tales!

About half my library is taken up with the myths of Scotland and Scottish history. "Scotland the Brave" and St.Andrews Cross, white on a field of blue.

Thanks for sharing. just wanted to check back to see if anymore had been added since I last read it. Looking for more. Thanks.
