As many of you know, I am the proud (and usually happy) father of two children who are still quite young. This, really, means that my own family is still young and, though my wife and I carry on some of the traditions we were raised with, we're still finding and making our own traditions.
My wife's grandfather was born in Germany and came to the US in his teens. I've taken time to talk to him, write down the songs he sings (as best as my high-school-level German allows), and keep some of the traditions that are important to him.
I've been looking through old journal entries from my side of the family, the vast majority of which is Scottish. From these entries, it's obvious that we've lost a great many traditions in the 150 years since leaving Scotland behind (though it's interesting that, even here, Scottish descendants kept finding and marrying other Scottish descendants in my family tree). It makes me sad to see the lack of Scottish traditions in my family when I see how alive the German traditions are in my wife's family.

So, with the desire to return to my roots still burning strong, what traditions do you recommend for a young father trying to revive his family's nearly-forgotten Scottish heritage?

This post is mostly directed to those still living in Scotland, though I'd like to hear from anyone still keeping Scottish traditions.

And thank you, as always, for your responses.
