Arizona lowland Scots Canadian

Hello. I was born in Kansas, raised in Arizona. My father's dad's family is from Berwickshire, Scotland, by way of Ontario Canada. His mother's family is from Ireland, also by way of Ontario. Had a lowland Scot marry a gal from Eire, in Canada. Anyway, I had the privilege to live in Scotland, for two years. At the time, I hadn't done any geneology, didn't know much about my roots. I've done extensive geneology, since (FamilySearch.org, and Ancestry.com). I recently purchased a sportkilt. Although my surname (Weatherhead) is from the borders, I couldn't find where it was a sept of any of the recognized clans/families. So, I looked at the tartans of the various border families. I chose the Douglas tartan. Going to dress up at halloween, and am building a mock Scottish castle, for a "trunk-or-treat" party. After having lived in Scotland (some 30 years ago) I can't get it out of my system. I love all things Scottish, and celtic. I have a music playlist, on Spotify, with over 1700 celtic/celtic rock tunes. Feel free to check it out. The playlist is titled "Mike's Mega Celtic Mix." I love to listen to it, when I go for walks. I recently had lower spine surgery, walking is the best therapy, according to my surgeon. The music pumps me up, inspires me to go faster. Well, I'll post photos, after Halloween, of my castle, etc. Cheerio the noo. Mike Weatherhead, Safford AZ
