Are you SCOTTISH?

[BikeWriter]

The Scottish Clan Boyd is on my Mother's side of our family.

[guitar man]

1. Hell yeah

I'm Muir




And MacClaine

[Rambis]

2. Scottish

Mother's family Scottish Watson clan Kilrenny Fifers-



McIntosh

[bikebloke]

3. Formerly Clan Fraser

After attending a tribal gathering in Scotland, I opted out. A bunch of fantasists looking down on other people pretending they're royalty. The only good thing was that I got month's bike trekking through the Highlands, so it wasn't a total waste.

I created a rebel clan on Geocities, Clan Simidh, to take the piss on the faux bravehearts.

[tigereye]

4. well, I just learned that my distant Irish ancestors went/fled? to Scotland for a

century or two and then came back to Donegal. Apparently we even have a tartan! I suspected that being alleged mercenaries had something to do with it...


So I'm not sure. My grandfather left Cork in the early part of the last century, so it's hard to say. Ancestry is more fluid at times than one would think.

[Orsino]

5. At least in part.

And we know the rule:

[DevonRex]

6. Hell yeah.

I'm a Hunter and a Wallace.

[kwassa]

7. well, about 400 years ago .....

[WildEyedLiberal]

8. My mom's maiden name was Grant

So, fuck yeah I'm Scottish. :D

[sarge43]

16. Stand Fast! (Clan motto btw)

My mom's paternal grandmother was a Grant.

[tilsammans]

20. Standing fast (whatever that means) here, too

Another Grant! :toast:

[geardaddy]

9. Possibly

I used the play the bagpipes though. :D

[foxfeet]

10. Stewart, Campbell and Knox (a sept of clan MacFarlane).

Most were Ulster Scots.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

11. Fuckin' A

Clan Johnston (I think that's pretty much the equivalent of Smith here. . .), ornery as hell and prone to live forever. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a black sheep because I tend to be a beaner, which makes the men look down on me because they're such hunter-gatherers. I guess if I manage to snag a kilted brute who is willing to kill and eat wildlife with them, they would overlook my shortcomings. :eyes:



And woohooo! We're heading into serious Highland Games season here starting next weekend! :party:

[ogneopasno]

12. If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Scots-Irish on nana's side and my mother was an Auchmuty although her people

have been in the USA since before the revolutionary war.

And my kids got some extra Scottish infused into them because I married a guy who has some in his background too.

[auntAgonist]

14. Born and raised in Scotland

Clan Hay.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. I just recently learned that some of my ancestors on my father's side of the

family came from Scotland.

[Rhythm]

17. Indeed...

[KamaAina]

18. Aye, me laddie!

Grandpa was Scottish on both sides, though the great-grandparents met in Detroit. The name's Pritchard, with the T; legend has it that the branch spelling it "Prichard" was forced to take the 't' out after its members were caught stealing goats.

[no name no slogan]

19. Fo shizzle

Clan Armstrong -- INVICTUS MANEO



From the Borders region.

[cherish44]

21. My family isn't Scottish but we have a tartan

Clan of Future American Hillbillies

It's pretty I think

[mwooldri]

22. I've been declared an honorary Scotsman.

Received my university education in Dundee, but alas no degree.

Came back with more than just a wee bit of the local lingo.

[trof]

23. There is no "Scottish". You're either a Scot, or you're not.

Natives of Scotland refer to themselves as 'Scots'.
:-)

[Critters2]

24. Family surnames Shields (Shiel before crossing the Atlantic), Gwynn,

Harris, Oliver, MacArthur, McAndrew

Yeah. I'm Scottish.

[MilesColtrane]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. Nice badge...

:rofl:

[nickinSTL]

26. a bit.

More Norwegian, German and Swedish, with some English, Scottish, Irish and Breton.

My Scottish ancestors are MacClures...I think they're of Clan MacLeod (according to Wikipedia, they're a sept of the Clan MacLeod of Harris and Skye).

on my dad's side. King Bruce of Scotland.
