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.
