All southern gentlemen of breeding can trace their bloodlines back to Bonny Prince Charlie.
Although one of my ancestors, an Earl, was immortalized in poem by Robert Burns, my family were almost certainly Ulster Scots, aka Scots-Irish, later to become Americas "hillbillies" and finally evolving into that magnificent subculture, the redneck. We do have a plaid, but I have never worn a kilt or played a bagpipe. If you believe you might be Scots-Irish a fantastic book I just finished is entitled "Born Fighting" written by James Webb. It's a little biased, but a great history of the Ulster project and the migration to Appalachia of these people. | |

| Is anyone out there Scottish? Posted: 8/26/2008 4:47:58 PM | | Yes, I am from Montrose Scotland originally, my mother was born and raised there and my family all the way back. I was only 2 when we came to America but was raised in Texas. My mother and I went back home for 9 years then returned to America back in 1997. She sadly passed away Dec.07 . Her and I planned to returnand live, however I will carry on that dream and will return in future sometime and I will take her ashes to her favorite places. My town is on the North Sea coast and very beautiful. I worked in Aberdeen Scotland when I was living there. I used to send the people offshore etc. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 11:22:43 AM | | there are some stupid replys on here true scots dont wear anything under there kilts.the tradiotanl kilt can be worn in many differaint ways as it was an 8 yard long tartan cloth.held aound the waste with two belts.worn like a kilt or a top held together with a kilt pin with a hood for bad weather and it was your sleeping bag as well.you can wear it in such a way that you have pouches thats why there was no sporran at first.then the army refined the kilt to what you see today worn only around the waste with no pouches hence the invention off the sporran. | |

| Is anyone out there Scottish? Posted: 10/13/2009 9:55:36 PM | | For your typical American mutt, I have a fair amount of Scots heritage...Kirkpatrick, Mack, Patterson, Robertson, Proffitt (may have been Proudfoot originally), and more. I've no idea what if any tartan I'd be entitled to wear, but I do know that I'd wear nothing under the kilt. There's a reason they called him Braveheart, ya know (it gets chilly in a Scots winter!) | |
