Her analysis of World War II German reenactors has been far more contraversial than Highland Heritage though.

Thanks, Todd. I don't think I have ever run across a male with the name "Celeste". I'll go a-searching and catch up on what has been written here. I recall "her" work being referenced in a study of the migration of, predominantly, Lowland Scots to British Columbia in the post WW1 years and the degrees of their acceptance by the resident Scots community.
