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!?  

Pierre the Shy & I live in New Zealand, so half way between there and West Virginia is ...

Uh ----- 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!).

Some music to play along to

Gotta love The Corries.

Ye Jacobites By Name

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?)

Amen, and Amen!

Mc is usually derived from Irish gaelic and Mac Scottish gaelic, and the Mackenzies of Seaforth are my home area clan, great clan for switching sides and not turning up when they said they would!! My grandfathers mothers folk were Mackenzies and his side are Ross, loads of them up here where I live!! I have been to Culloden Moor a good few times, not overly far from me,very bleak and depressing place, but interesting and worth a visit if you are up in the area.

Interpretive dance was always Techno's forte!

I used to work in Seaforth. It's on the edge of Liverpool between Bootle and Waterloo.
