Five weeks in Scotland

Yours truly standing next to the Clan Crawford pavilion on Hollyrood park.

Too see the entire field of mass Clans you would have had to hike to the top of Hollyrood hill.





Just part of the mass of humanity during walk up the Royal mile out of Hollyrood Castle to the bleachers. To give you perspective - this mass of people was a MILE long. I'm in there but it's just too blurry to point me out


AND! here is a shot of the Crawfurdland castle. It is still occupied by the Crawfurd family.

One of the neat things I found out about the Clan is, there are dozens of ways to spell our name - all from the same family root. I guess it depends where the Scot moved to on the planet how it's spelled today.

Shopping was one of the main reasons I spent 11 days in Glasgow. I found a really nice more modern jacket/waistcoat called a Hollyrood jacket. It has a Velvet collar yet it is so understated it makes a fine upscale daywear garment.

Picture follows.

Congrats on your successful shopping spree! Sorry we didn't connect at The Gathering.
