    Helloo All =)

    Helloo, my name is Shannon, and my husband, Ronnie and I went to our first highland gamed last weekend, Loch Norman Highland Games. We have been wanting to go for awhile and we finally had the chance..yay! My fathers surname is Wilson and we wanted to learn more about the history and the clan he would have been associated with. He passed in 2007. So in honor of my Wilson heritage I joined Clan Gunn. Woohooooo! My hubby and I are very excited! No vendors at the games had a Gunn kilt, so he opted for a solid black one till we can order him a proper Gunn kilt. He has many questions about kilts so you will probably see him soon..lol. We are located in the foothills of NC and the WNC Celtic Festival and Grandfather Mountain Games will be coming up soon. So more fun to be had!

    Welcome! You are not too far from the Scottish Tartans Museum, so when it comes time for your husband to get his kilt, or any accessories, come check it out!
    www.scottishtartans.org

    Of course you can just come by and drool over all the old kilts and sporrans on display. :-)

    from Chicago. My brother Turpin regularly attends Grandfather Mountain, so maybe you'll meet him there.
