Yep, Cajun too. I was born in Lafayette, grew up in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana then moved to Texas for most of my life. Now in Arizona. Apparently, the Acadian community has pretty strong ties to the Nova Scotians. I have read alot about the connections. I am Gaelic/Celtic on the other side of the family. Small world.

Don't forget, there are two "Cajun" tartans: The Nova Scotia and the Louisiana. My DW has sashes in both of them that she wears to Scottish functions.

I joke that our marriage is "The Auld Alliance" between Scotland and France!

Welcome to the Valley of the Sun. I'm in Mesa, Arizona right now. I'm not sure if you'll get this message in time, but we're having a Kilt night this Friday Night at an Irish pub called Fibber Magee's in Chandler on the southeast corner of Dobson and Elliot. An awesome band by the name of the Keltic Cowboys are playing around 9:00PM. There should be around 10 of us in kilts this friday. If you've got some free time, come on out for a pint. I'll be the one in the Irish national Tartan. Slainte!
