Gathering of the Blogs 2005 is coming

Tartan Day is coming, so let's celebrate. My Scottish/Irish/English blood warms at the thought. Okay, not so much the English part. Ith of Absinthe and Cookies is preparing a blogosphere celebration of all things Scottish. Drop by and leave a comment or send an email if you want to participate. FWIW, the name of my Scottish ancestors predates the clans. Ergo, no clan tartan. However, since they originated in the county Galway, I have the right to proudly display the Galloway tartan:

Or the Galloway district hunting tartan:

Ith has created TartanBlogs group on Yahoo! Here is the image displayed there:

Also, I've added the Gathering Blogroll to the side bar, complete with button pilfered from Absinthe & Cookies.

2 Thanks for sharing this! I'll head over to the Gathering as soon as I'm done here... I've got a couple Scottish lines in my tree and have been researching them voraciously. What are your ancestors names? I'm from the Irving clan, and the Gilchrists (a sept of clan MacLachlan), with McAllister and Campbell blood thrown in for good measure. BTW - have you read How the Scots Invented the Modern World? If I didn't have a toddler running around the house I'd be through it by now - a great read. Well, nice to meet someone else with Scottish DNA. :-)
