Fun Time at Scottish Games
The Virginia Scottish Games were good fun last weekend near The Plains, Virginia. The 2-day event was an all-out celebration of everything Scottish! Scottish garb, Scottish food, Scottish music, Scottish games, family clans and Scotland adoring groups were all there. I was in heaven with my head full of Scottish history, which I was able to tell anyone who stopped by our Scottish-American Women's Society table. I saw some of the people who had helped me out at that same festival five years ago! In 2017 I set up my video camera and did 19 interviews, to find out what people knew about their family history. I was interested to find out that, though some people did know their family history, most didn't know where their family came from, or why they left. I was also pleased to meet new people and tell them about my new book. Several people mentioned their plans to come to Alexandria's Scottish Walk, or parade, on December 4th 2021.
