Two kinds of men in the world. Scotsmen- and them that want to be Scotsmen.



Well, were it not for the damn Brits, I might still be a Scotsman, since my family lives in Melrose (Am Maol Ros, Borders County) near Abbotsford, but along about the 1750's my ancestor was plied with rum, and after he was out cold, was hauled off by a shanghai party of the Royal Navy and put to work on a ship bound for the Colonies. Well, no sooner did they drop anchor in the Colonies, he skipped town as fast as he could and became one of them there Colonials. SO, even though now watered down with Irish from County Cork, and Alsatian German, I still have a wee bit of Borders blood in my veins...
