[macwilkin]

Thanks to everyones input but can anyone tell me the way to say your lineage? Jock Scot, can u help me out on this? I just dont want to be that one athlete with a dutch name competing in the games and everyone snicker when they announce my surname for Clan Ross?

The Netherlands & Scotland have some long-standing connections. Besides the aforememtioned Dutch friendship tartan, the Clan Mackay has some very strong ties to the Netherlands, which first began during the Thirty Years War when the MacKays provided mercenaries for the Protestants in the Low Countries. Later, Baron Aeneas Mackay was the prime minister of the Netherlands during the 19th century.

Regards,

Todd
