Clan Farquson here. Four generations ago. Also got some Clan Findlay heritage if I go further back.

I had no idea there were Highland Games in SoCal. Next year I am so going, and I'm wearing a kilt.

Ah, laddie, you've finally made it! The perfect Scottish boy! (Private joke for those visiting the site!) How many know Alex's whole name is Alexander Lachlan McLean? He was named for the first MacLean in Scotland - Lachlan and he is the 4th generation Alexander.

We had a great time showing Miles and Macy around the games although I think the Wicked Tinkers scared Macy a bit.

Alex, I noticed someone on the blog is related to a Campbell! BEWARE! Twas the Campbell's who stole your castle - twern't for them you'd be living in Castle Duart today! HA! Just kidding!

Words of wisdom for today?

Why do you think we had Hadrian build the wall? To keep the Scottish trash out...

HA! It's called Hadrian's Wall right? Hadrian being a Roman? Who had defeated the Britons? But couldn't defeat the Scots so had to build a wall to keep themselves safe? You must be from Baja Scotland.....Alba gu bra!

Seriously, Alex said he just met you - always glad to converse with his friends - God is good....all the time!
