New to XMTS from Alexandria, VA (USA)

I have spent some time reading various posts and felt I needed to join the fun. Having spent 3 weeks touring Scotland this summer and with a new MacQueen kilt following me home I need to learn more of my Scottish heritage. I can trace my family back to, I think, mid 18th century in the Stirling / Alloa area (the records of my family tree is in storage currently so my memory may be slightly off). I am also eager to acquire a kilt in the Episcopal Church tartan so I can wear it at my ordination, but if not the MacQueen tartan will be good too. I look forward to getting to know you.

Peace,

Hi Stirling,
A warm Scots welcome from a very stormy Massachusetts

Peace,

If you don't meet any of us before then, a lot of us are at the Scottish Walk Christmas time in Alexandria. Watch the Celtic events board, I am sure meet ups will be planned. And welcome!
