Hi Mike, I'm sorry to have been a while replying to your post, but life has been a trifle hectic recently. In fact my family story already exits on the clan website, but it is in an issue of The Parnassus, which is the Clan MacLea (Livingstone) Society newsletter. It would be too long to put on the ...

Hi Mike, Many thanks for your most interesting and informative post. I have more or less the same children for Donald Livingston and Margaret McIssac. However I clicked on Clan Web and Craignish births and found the following: Anne 24 Feb 1827 Kirkton (name of property where born) Mary 06 Oct 1828 K...

Hi Mike, It is great to hear from you and to have found another cousin, but I haven't as yet worked out how many times removed! Archibald's and Mary's family was as follows: Mary (born c. 1782), Margaret (born c. 1783), Ann (no DOB) Alexander (born 1791) [my gt.gt. grandfather] and Donald (born 1795...

Hi Jay,

I sent out the last issue of The Parnassus in July. As Greg says, Kyle has been very busy over the last few months, but I am hoping to send out the next issue sometime near Christmas.

Yes, Kaye, you are right the date is 28th to 30th June 2014. This is when the re-enactment of the Battle of Bannockburn will take place. The Gathering is planned for the same weekend, although I don't think that the date for it has been officially confirmed yet. My apologies for misleading you with ...

Hi Jay, First of all, you want to go to your travel agent and ask him/her to put a package together for you: flights, hotels etc. I do not know how long you intend to stay in Scotland, but a few ideas spring to mind. I see that the Highland Games Masters Games Championships are being held the second...

Hi Donald, Certainly a holiday in the Caribbean in January would be lovely. Unfortunately, I am no longer allowed to fly long-haul, as eleven years ago I broke my leg and, after the operation, developed a DVT, and my doctor and insurance company said 'no more long flights'. We have been to the West ...

The weather in Scotland this summer has varied considerably, from the beautiful weather on Lismore, as recounted by Bachuil, to the frankly horrible. We have had a very wet summer down in Galloway. While we did not have the severe flooding that other areas endured, from mid-June until the end of Jul...

Thank you Niall. I shall get back in touch with you nearer the time. Incidentally, I am very envious of the lovely weather you have been having on Lismore this year. The weather here has been awful, though not as bad as some other places. We have had two bad summers on the trot and are sick of rain....

Dear Niall, It is good to hear you back on the forum. You have certainly been busy during the last year! We were very sorry not to be able to come and see you last year, but I had a health glitsch, which has hopefully been sorted, and I hope that we shall be able to visit you next year. We shall cer...
