I would love to have you pick up a copy of my Keith trilogy from Amazon.com. They include Dunnottar, Marylebone and Par for the Course. I envy you having actually been there. My husband is now disabled and in a wheelchair after losing his leg, so it is out of the realm of our possibility. It is a wonderful vision you have left me with with the rainbow behind the castle.

My mother's mother's family are the Boyds (our name is all over Chattanooga), and they were the Earls of Kilmarnock until the final Jacobite (Scottish) uprising of 1745, when the then Earl was captured and beheaded in the Tower of London. He was the last person executed at the Tower until WWI.<BR/><BR/>All of that to say that, if you know something of your family's history, it is REALLY cool to get to see the places you came from. <BR/><BR/>And, for what it's worth, my relative, the Earl of Kilmarnock, is a character in Diana Gabaldon's second book. :)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737140275571452756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-1115040967341787162005-05-02T09:36:00.000-04:002005-05-02T09:36:00.000-04:00I am reading and enjoying Phil.I am reading and enjoying Phil.Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.com
