Scotland ~Random Facts N' Photos

1. I found out that the kilt I have is a Douglas tartan. After I got it, Little Bear showed us a book in a shop that showed what tartans family's wore; one of the main one's that Kirkpatricks wore was.... Douglas lol. i didn't even try to do that one.:)

2. Although, I am excited about Dougie MacLean, I have not heard too many of his songs, and i also know/assume that not all of them are good, so if you look him up....

There are also some Pictures I uploaded from today at the Isle of Iona, it's basically as far west as you can get in Scotland, and the closest to Ireland almost. Here at Oban, and in most of the Highlands the road signs are in two languages, English and Scottish Gaelic. ;) I did take a pic of one. ;)

That's interesting about the Kirkpatrick's and kilts.....must be Kirkpatrick taste coming through the generations- still drawn to the same styles/colors!!

Is one of the crosses the one you spoke of - being the original celtic cross with the circle? I'm guessing one of them is. They're very cool looking. And the weather looks awesome!

Alright, off to the store now, maybe I'll see more pics when I return!

Love you,
Mom, Dad and the kiddos.....
