Re: Clan Maclea/Livingstone and O'Neill connection?

I don't know if many people realise this but Dr David's daughter Agnes married the son of a wealthy Edinburgh brewing family called Bruce and therefore took the surname Livingston-Bruce.

Re: Livngston/Maclay/Macleay Tartan Order

I very much regret that the mill have come back saying that the minimum order will be very much greater than they first intimated so that we will need to order about 60m of double width cloth.
