hello! I'm a newbie Scottish American Stuck in New Mexico...YIKES
Hi All!
My name is Heather, My maiden surname is Cunningham and i was blessed to live in the UK for 6 years of my life, during those 6 years, my family made many trips to our native lands in Scotland. That was many years ago from 1986-1992. To this day, Urquhart Castle is my favorate place to be. I LOVE it there. I loved everywhere in Scotland and i found the people there so much warmer, kinder and friendlier than what you typically find here in the states. Truth be told, if i could raise my children anywhere in the world, we'd be living in Scotland as i speak. I've long asked the question "why did my ancestors leave such a beautiful place?"
Anyhow, my married name is Chester and my father in law is a piper. He has been playing for several years now and is trying to get my children to start playing the chanter. Unfortunatly, here in America, the bagpipes are not typically a musical instrument taught in our schools. I really dont want to get into the lack of quality education here because i was lucky enough to get the majority of my education in England and when we moved back to the US, i was years ahead of my peers.
Anyhow, its lovely to be in touch with people who are passionate about my favorite place on earth!
