    Greetings from Somerset UK

    Hi all
    Don't know how I never found this forum before, but glad I have now. Great to be a member.
    I am a Scot from Fife, although I left when I was 20, when I joined the Army. That's where I got my forum name.
    I was a Drill Instructor for a time and it stands for
    (P) Pace Stick
    (O) 'Ob nail Boots
    (D) Dentures (as my front teeth had been knocked out when younger)
    The last 3 numbers are (appropriately) my last 3 of my Army number.
    Regards

    Greetings POD325 of the Grant Clan and welcome to X Marks from Delaware, USA. You know, it's never too late. You found us, you joined us and now you are... us. And, I'm glad you did.

    I'm sure it's a typo in your profile but, if not, you were leaving for the army at about the time my ancestors (the Frasures') came to the Highlands. Never-mind, saw your birth date so, now I'm certain it's a typo!

    Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

    Hi Nile, Thanks for spotting the error. My typing goes haywire when i get excited. Changed it now.

    Must admit I am not of the Grant Clan. Circumstances mean I cannot trace my name (Parker) back to any particular clan. I have posted a story of my journey to the kilt on the following website. It explains why I wear the Grant.
    I hope there are no restrictions on posting other site links, I can't find anything in the FAQ's. As I still have to have my posts as a newby approved, I am sure the mods will keep me right.

    It is quite long, hence not putting it on here. The site is quite interesting however.

    Hi and welcome from sunny Queensland.

    I used to holiday a lot in Somerset with my family when I was much younger - always so wonderfully green - because it rains a lot - or it always seemed to on us!
    Regards, Sav.
