I look forward to talking to you in other areas of the forum!

Welcome from Ohio. I know exactly how you feel. I began to explore my Scottish ancestory just this past year. The first time your hear the pipes while you are kilted will be a memory you will treasure.

Hope to see you there

Born in North Little Rock, and I'll be back for a 40th class reunion in May. Maybe we can arrange a kilt night. I've already spoken to a friend in Russelville--tattie shaw on here--who's willing to make the trek. I hear there's a pretty good pub out in west Little Rock where I'll be staying.

What say ye?

oh yeah. welcome to the rabble.

LOL funny that you mention that since we recently found some writings from the first settlers in the area and some that were from a scotsman who mentioned how the area reminded him of scotland

Welcome from Ft. Worth, Texas, USA.
Yeah, something about those pipes brings out the Scot in all of us.
Arkansas, land of beautiful scenery and beautiful women.
