Jock, I for one appreciate your insights. Many of us, claim Scot blood and can directly trace our families back to Scotland and through Scottish history. Many are descended from those who were forcibly removed from Scotland for fighting for freedom so many years ago. We have grown up in a country that is a melting pot of cultures and it's hard to follow ways that have slipped past us for reasons beyond our control. We are proud of where we come from and we want to honor the ways of our fathers, grandfathers, and so on. So to often do people just wave us off as Americans or Canadians, And feel we are taking something that does not belong to us. It did at once, but it was pried away from us.
I want to thank you for taking the time and explain things, so people can understand the current Highland way of thinking. I do appreciate your words, because you take the time to make sure the words you use are the right ones.
