I love writing papers, especially after procrastinating.
So, good overview of Scottish stories, especially deconstructing the myths. Try this page on firstfoot (strong language alert, it's based in Glasgow) Check out the Fairy Flag story, which is a McLeod story.
From some of your other posts, check out Holy Fairs. Cajunscot knows it and that can lead to a full research paper.
I did a short paper on Flora MacDonald that yielded no end of material and perspectives. Went from Prince Charles, the aftermath, the Carolinas, American Revolution, that bridge I forget right now and back to Scotland. Great history. Ended up being a two hour seminar, nobody wanted to stop me and the professor told me to keep going.

That would be the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in North Carolina...the last reported Highland Charge..."King George & Broadswords!"

Well Cajunscot certainly came through on helping me dig up some resources. I now have a stack of books to sift through, many without footnotes unfortunately and I need rent Braveheart again. This paper really shouldn't be all that bad since its something I am interested in. My real worries are that I have another research paper coming due on a current event in politics. . . never have cared much for politics. . . Thanks again Todd!
