Rieko, one of our clan members,
has published her
book (in Japanese) -- including a picture of all of us sitting outside
Plockton Hotel. I ordered
it from Amazon Japan and had no trouble at all (but be sure to poke "use
English")
If you like, take a look at the original photo on Kirsty's site. And whilst there, you can also see the photo of Paul reading the book. |

| Never attempt to fire a gun or pistol while on the
road -- it may frighten the team and the careless handling or cocking
of the weapon makes nervous people nervous. Don't discuss politics
or religion, nor point out places where horrible murders have been committed. Hints for Plains Travelers Omaha Herald, 1877 |

| For those of you who've asked what shinty is, Janice of our Hamish group offers the Official Web of the Camanachd Association, with this comment: "Camanachd is the Gaelic word for the game known as shinty... there used to be a league in the Toronto area (now defunct). I remember watching a match between local players and a visiting team from Ireland about 10 years ago and the Irish coach kept yelling at a poor player named Sean - I felt sorry for the poor lad but couldn't figure out which one he was. After the match when the players were introduced I found out half the Irish team was named Sean . . ." |
