It was a great night, a wonderful time was enjoyed by all. It was a first class event all the way. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Where are the rest of the pictures?

Don't forget, the in-laws were part of the family (Clan).

If you really want to find your correct clan or sept it is necessary to trace the family bloodlines back to Scotland and determine the...

Jim,

We are trying to get our schedule arranged so we can be with you guys on Friday night, so save a place for two more.

If any X-marker shows up at the Lamont Tent for the gathering, we will redirect them to the Gordon Tent and make sure they find the rest of the group.

We have always enjoyed hosting you guys.

The Whisky Tasting is at 3:30 PM Friday at the Host Hotel, tickets are $15 and can still be purchased on-line at www.smhg.org.

The Piping Recital is at 6:00 PM Friday following the Whisky...

Hey Guys,

Haven't been on here for a long time, but did stop by to see who was going to Stone Mountain this year.

I will offer the hospitality of the Lamont Tent as is our tradition. If you...

Is this open now? I've seen the sign up on Highway 9, but didn't know if they were open yet. If you want to try it out give me a call.

Are any of you kilted gentlemen from Tennessee of Lamont descent? If so I would like to hear from you. CLSNA wants to know who you are and where you are located.

We will be at the Blairsville,...

Alex,

It's great to know that she is back home doing well, the smile on her face tells it all.

This is my favorite, the photo was taken of my wife and I before heading off to the Kirkin'.

Nice look Arlen. Prince Charles is a great ambassador for the kilt. He always looks very well dressed in highland wear.

Most of us folks of Scottish or Scotch Irish ancestry here in the US are descendants of the immigrants who arrived here during the 1700's. Some of their surnames live for a few generations and some...

By using both the maternal and paternal sides of your family you are going to get a much larger selection of tartans. You can always select the one you like the best or choose the family you feel...

I'm going to agree with you, there are more kilts per square inch at Stone Mountain than anyplace I've been. But I don't get out very much either.

Take a look at the Clan Colquhoun and Clan McDougall websites. Many clans have a clan genealogist who may be able to help you out. Look at www.rootsweb.com, there is loads of free information...

I haven't received mine either, they must be running behind schedule making the deposits.

One of the interesting things about the Scots-Irish migration to the USA is that entire families migrated together. In many instances two or three brothers would migrate from Scotland together, many...

I have a copy of a Kirk'in bulletin in my files on my computer at home (I'm at work now), I'll e-mail it to you this evening.

I hope it helps you out.

You're right Jack, that makes you a Lamont!

The Lamont tartan is the Black Watch tartan with a white line added.

I am a descendant of a Lamont/Campbell marriage who ended up marrying a...

Gil, this must make us distant cousins, I am a descendant of John Rolfe and his pre-Pochahontas wife Jane Pierce on my father's side of the family. My mother's family are descendants of some of the...

I don't have a Matt Newsome Box Pleat yet, but I did buy my 16 oz Ancient Lamont tank from him.

Here's to you Matt :pint:, thanks for all of the good tips, color matching advice and great...

My very deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

The name Blake is indeed listed as a sept of Clan Lamont, the Lamont's were usually found in the Cowall, Argyll, and the area from Ayr over to Edinburgh. The Lamont's dispersed fairly early, in fact...

I just bought a copy of this book from abebooks for the sum of $1.00 + $3.94 shipping. It will be here in a few days. It should be a great addition to my steadily growing Scottish reference library.
