I believe that I am Clan Gordon. However, my grandparents and their siblings were the ones who emigrated from Scotland (Aberdeen)to the US. They are long gone and I am not up on genealogy to know how all this works.

Clan Gunn here. A murderous rabble from the wilds of Sutherland. Slightly tamed now, of course

Looks like we are holding your spear in our coat of arms:

Holding my spear, indeed? Put it down, you don't know where it's been.

I suppose I should add Gaza to the list, in his asbence.

Did you get lounge access during your transfer in Nova Scotia?

Being Scottish we went on a cheap unpublished fare too low to qualify! &lt;megagrin&gt;

Another Scot signing in!

I flew back from North America last July (YYZ-NYC-ZRH-BRU-EDI) in an kilt as it was easier to wear it than pack it (I changed into shorts while sleeping).

It is a load of hassle to keep having to take your sporran off for security!

Clan Morrison - presumably originating in Scotland, but I lose the trail in northern Ireland in the late 1600's.. that's as far back as I have been successful in tracing that line.

Through marriage, Clan Sinclair of Caithness

I flew for BCAL for years and I wore a kilt, and pretty blouse and a tamoshanter. We had a Chieftain Clan, and I would like to be an honorary Scot as I think that I have got all the credantials and if you don't let me play I'll scream and scream and scream until I'm sick.

So there.
