Interesting Scottish Links

OK so I saw Karen's post on Outlandish Observations this AM which contains a really cool video of a redheided Scot putting on a kilt and demonstrating 18th century weaponry.... and realized I am SO BEHIND on posting links.

THIS is very cool... it's the Kinnaird Lighthouse and Castle that was built for the Fraser family in the 16th century. Thanks to Marci for the link!

THIS is a page on a Celtic Traditions website that talks about Inbolc - the Feast of Bride. Also sent in by Marci who reminded me that Jamie "always prays to Bride".

THIS is a fun post over at Blue Moon Magnolia that talks about casting for Jamie Fraser. Thanks to Carla for sending it in!

THIS is a wonderful article about Alexander McCall Smith who has joined the campaign for a visitor centre to commemorate the Battle of Prestonpans. Make SURE you view the gorgeous tapestry. You may just shed a tear.

And lastly - check out the Red Hot Chilli Pipers - sent in by Kathy (and Shannon has mentioned them too!)  They rock. Watch their video... it's verra cool because you can hear them talk. And lordddddd we love to hear them talk.

Second Life

Check out what Tracey just found! 

I actually just posted on their Facebook page and asked if it's supposed to be Jamie. They'll probably laugh at me, lassies... but who cares, right?!

OK so the woman is in a red evening dress and wearing a tiara... but still. Maybe Claire wore it to a USO function in the 40s?! (I know, I know.. it's a stretch. LOL)

My Apologies!

I am SO sorry I didn't announce that chat was canceled last night! I was in a hotel yesterday and having some technical difficulties. Hopefully most of you saw Tracey's tweet!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week... and we'll see you at chat next week! :)
