Those guys were supposedly pretty awesome light cavalry.

I'm like 50% English, 40% Scottish, 10% Welsh, and 100% predisposed to brutally subjugating the Irish.

Fun fact: Peat only exists in celtic countries because God knew that the celts were the only ones so drunk that they'd try to burn mud.

I am quite scottish.

Thank you, good sir.

Thanks for that!

There is a deep-fried version of haggis (like southerners, Scots have a penchant for deep frying) which is DELICIOUS.

the Johnston clan established the town of Lockerbie, where Pan Am 103 crashed.

we were some brutal bastards at times. basically exterminated on clan by setting fire to their church while everyone was inside and killing anyone who tried to escape it

and i don't need a tat for someone to know i'm scottish...i'm pale, redheaded, and big. i just take a lot of pride in my heritage and decided to literally wear it on my sleeve

12/14/2009 10:20:58 PM

There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman. Now, out you go!

Two sides:

Clan Baird:




Clan Shaw:

12/15/2009 12:23:59 AM

so did y'all actually do genealogy stuff to figure out these clans or do you just look up the name

i'm a summerlin and i think that's some illiterate immigrants misspelling of sutherland or whatever so am i sutherland clan or what? i like the color of their tartan so i think i'mma just go with that.

12/15/2009 12:35:55 AM

well it's easy when your last name is the same name as the clan.

12/15/2009 12:39:14 AM

well that doesn't necessarily mean they are your ancestors

my uncle (through marriage) is a johnson and he doesn't have a drop of johnson blood in him. someone down the line needed to change his name for some shady legal purposes and they chose johnson.

That's rediculous. Eastern NC is full of peat. Although, I guess there are plenty folks of scottish descent around there too.

12/15/2009 10:09:19 AM

I.E. - Most of them are.
