Roll Call for Highland Fling!

[SirRichardBear]

But the Irish are just Welsh who missed the turn and kept going till they Ireland.   We're all cousin under the kilt.

[Just Randall]

Um, Bear, does this mean that good Queen Maggie from Scarby is coming this weekend? (I hopeIhopeIhopeIhope)

[SirRichardBear]

I haven't heard but last year she came incognito to watch us march.  Look just like commoner she did.  So your might keep an eye open for someone that looks like her Majesty.

I plan to be there along with several others from Scarby,  we are allways working our faire so this will be our chance to play for a change.

[Zardoz]

I'll be out, planning to camp Sat. night at this time...

[CahirDochartaigh]

The Scotts don't like to admit it, but they are all Irish who got lost on a boat

Seriously, they all descend from the Dal Riata tribes of NE Ireland, who colonized and later migrated to Alba...

Speaking of the Dal Riata...that's who Clann Dochartaigh is supposed to represent! And you can bet we'll be there in all our wayward glory for Highland Fling! We're camping up on the "hill," so all of you feel free to come say hello, unless we stumble upon you first!

[AnnMarie B]

I will be there!

Not many probably know this but i'm Scott-Irish. My grandfather researched our ancestry a while back...I was maybe 10, all I recall was the "Hey, we're Scott-Irish!" part but recent interest had me do my own research and delve deeper and I'm sure glad I did. I'll be all out with my Scottish/Irish pride this weekend! (Really just Scottish; my original Ancestors = Irvine of Scotland.)

Anyhoo.. I will be (hopefully if my endeavors are fruitful this week and I can find a close looking pattern somewhere local) wearing my Clan Irvine colors! Even if not, I can always stop by the Scot Shoppe first thing Saturday morning

(PSST! If anyone does know of a local place that sells Clan Pins, Tartans, etc, though, I'd greatly appreciate the info!)


My best friend and a few others will be camping with Brigadoon; however, I may try and stay with McLotofus. I'll keep y'all posted. Either way, I'll definitely be there, be it day trip or camping


<3

Oh, so if it was when you were 10 it would have been ......what? last year?  Just kidding, sweet girl.  I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't pick on my hoochiesis. Glad you're getting into the ancestor research.  It's an amazing journey.  Strangely enough, I have found more of my relatives on Facebook than I have been able to elsewhere in the last 10 years of trying.

I'll be there with the brood on Saturday as usual, but no camping for us until the baby learns to sleep in a tent without keeping everyone up all night.  Huzzah for daytripping! Hope to see you then

well, my family is...

English (well, practically Welsh as the castle stands at the edge of teh Welsh Marches), then a marriage was annulled after a child was born (no record of marriage but record of anullment) and father and child moved to Scotland. That DeBohun line grew up and occasionally married into the English line... then during the Clearances, part of the Scottish De Bohun line moved to Ulster, and then, a century or so (and a name change to Bone after further distancing themselves from the English cousins) William Bone came to the Americas with William Penn and settled in Pennsylvania. His children, grandchildren, etc, made thier way south through the appalaichas and eventually settled in Texas... and one of those generations married my great grandmother...

The DeBohun line was mother to Kings (Henry V) and godfather to Conquerors. We charged into battle (Bannockburn) and commissioned great works (the DeBohun Psalter, which passed from Queen to Queen down to Katharine of Aragon)

lol I am JUST a little proud of my heritage!!!

[Blue66669]

Hmmm, ancestry.....

*AHEM!!!*

I was born a poor, black child....

[julessweetie]

[bellevivre]

I'm your twin sister here, did ya know?

[cwconnertx]

I will be there with some friends (maybe) and they are on my bad side right now so I use the term loosely.

Anyone who wants to stop by for some whiskey or tequila is welcome. The tarp support has been reinforced for use as a stripper pole for anyone interested, or if you get enough liquor in me I might .... . Look for a 20x30 blue tarp by a Honda with a roof rack. I haven't been to the faire for 4 years and its good to be coming back. It will be good to meet new people and see some old faces.

I will be there both Friday and Saturday nights camping.

See everyone there.

[FaeHollow]

How exciting! roll call!
Me! I will be there... I kind of have to be!
COME SEE ME in GERMANY!
