This might be useful too!

Amazon says they won't this to the USA either - yet the discription says it is an empty tin

I expect one of the excuses would be that that the tin might 'pop' if it went by airmail.

First, thanks all for the complements!

P.S. Hope you don't mind me passing on some helpful info about how two of the clan names are spelled back here in the old world. MacClean should be McLean (pronounced MacLane) and MacCloud should be McLeod (see Clan links)

Westie, I don't mind at all! I should actually know better! I'll correct my list on the blog - thanks.
The really embarrassing part is I played in a pipe band for a good little while that wore Macleod of Lewis!

Pierre, I'm doing Montrose now and may eventually work out to the '45 - meet you in the middle somewhere

Very droll, Leman. What a Pearl.

Nice of you to say so, Guy. When I saw your blog, I could see how seriously you were interested in that whole era, so I mentioned it with the best of intentions. Anyway, I can talk - as you will see from the links, the preferred (official?) way of spelling by the Clans themselves is with 'Mac' and not 'Mc" as I had stated! D'oh!

Hawaii?

If this is in reference to the pipe band - it was here in West Virginia. Looked at Hawaii pipeband and they appear to wear the dark MacLeod (Harris), we wore the bright yellow Lewis.

If this wasn't the reference then - I am fine! Hawaii!?

That's a hell of a commute if you guys ever want a game!

Westie,
Scrooge Mcduck uses the "mc" ( as does "McCloud" for that matter!) so it is all good!
I must have been having a Dennis Weaver flashback  
I started by using the Clan names in Galeic but that quickly became baffling beyond all reason!
Incidentally the MacDonalds of Glengarry seem to prefer "MacDonnell" but since I have MacDonnells (and O'Donnells) in my Irish
forces I keep them consistent with the rest!
I appreciate all the help I can get - so thanks again!

Hawaii - superb location for a bit of wargaming, followed by hanging ten, then bonfire, marshmallows and tequila on the beach ( or some other preferred Hawaiian drink that probably features pineapple - eugh!).

Alastair McDonald did a great album called Bonnie Prince Charlie, which ends on a great song Drumossie Moor a nice change to the usual over romanticised songs

Well I'd consider it - particlarly if Milord Oik can be enticed to write a saga about! (Or perhaps even preform an interpretive dance?)
