My name is a long story. It started when I started my work on clan badges and other clan items. "Celtic" is for my interest in things Scottish . The "Gypsy" is for my Romaine/German heritage.

My avatar is another story all together. While researching clans, I met a very knowledgeable gentleman in regards to clans, tartans and such. He was sort of bragging to another person he could find an appropriate tartan for anyone. I challenged him, as i knew my heritage is no where near Scotland. I told him my name and my heritage. With a bit of smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye at the challenge i presented him with, he began to look thru his books and within 10 minutes, i had Clan and tartan i could call my own - Clan Farquharson.
