A Modern Scottish View of Clans (and Gathering)

[Brandane]

"A Modern Scottish View of Clans (and Gathering)" was the original title of this post. Sadly no other actual Scottish people seem able or willing to contribute so I will bow out now before the inevitable tide of opprobrium descends upon me. If anyone feels that this has been a one-sided discussion then that is probably because that is precisely the case.

Phil, your thread has certainly sparked all sorts of controversay.

I would just like to say the I am happy and proud to be a Scot and accept that our history is clouded by romantisism. I am also happy to be an Anderson and wear the tartan and the clan badge in honour of those that went before me.

As i've become older I more readily accept the views of others that may disagree with me on subjects such as those that you have raised. History is history however viewed, we have the chance to shape the future. Best wishes, Rob.

Thanks for your comments, peacekeeper83, Rob and others. Don't worry though, it is only this thread I think it best to bow out of. I love a good discussion with the best of them - must be the Irish in me! Would argue a black crow was white my mother used to say.
