    New from Canada !

    Hello all! My name is Connie Robson and at first I thought I had joined the wrong community since it's mostly men posting but I have found a few women posts so feel a little better! Lol! I mainly joined for the information that is on this site and links from the site.

    My obsession with my Scottish heritage began with my grandfather and the tales he would tell of growing up in kilmarnock. My interest has slowly grown into an obsession since his passing two years ago at the ripe old age of 90! Since he never had a kilt in my lifetime I have found it my way of remembering him to acquire my own and as much information about our family and clan as I can!

    I look forward to spending many hours reading the posts and information here and passing it along to my girls as they grow up!

    Cheers!
    Connie

    Re: New from Canada !

    Hello there! I joined to research for my husband who was wanting to buy his first kilt, because he didn't have the time to do it himself. I've been here since!

    Best wishes to you!
