    Helloe from Glencoe

    Both the clan and the kilt adopted me, one at marriage and one at my induction into the pipe band. I've grown very fond of both.

    And you certainly live in a town with an appropriate name! Is there a story behind that, perhaps?

    from the Scottish Borders.

    There just has to be a reason why a town in the USA is named after such a famous place in Scotland.

    Hey, Turp...don't forget East Dundee, West Dundee and Midlothian! All in Illinois near Chicago.

    Our local PBS tour/historian did a bit on the Dundee's and they were, apparently, settled by Scots.
