UK in Glacier Nat'l Park

[davedove]

Great scenery. I have to get up to that part of our continent to see Glacier Nat'l Park, as well as Waterton Lakes and Jasper/Banff. I've got an itinerary worked up based out of Calgary, but I need to save up the time and money.

I hope to make it out there some day!! Great pic!

This thread made me think of Glacier's Scottish Connection: Duncan McDonald, the son of a Scots Hudson's Bay Company trader and a Native American woman. McDonald Lake is named for him.

McDonald's story is told by James Hunter in "Scottish Highlanders, Indian Peoples" (also titled "Glencoe and the Indians" in Scotland):

The book is available through the Montana State Historical Society:
