Laird to assume the surname of Buchanan.Colman was a Christian name which

was in common use in Scotland and means"little dove" in Gaelic.

This Colman's son migrated toArgyllshire during the reign of AlexanderIII, settiing near Glen Lonan.

From this descendant of Colmanevolved the MacCalmans who supplied a

tannery which was located in this area withbark for use in taming the leather.

From the nature of their work, they ac-quired the Gaelic name Na Rusgain - theRuskins - which comes from rusg mean-ing peel or bark. Thus, they iost their pat-ronymic clan name to their occupationalname.

Another of Colman's descendants mi-grated to Kintail in Ireland, settling on theEarl of Seaforth's land. This man's name was

Murcho MacColman andfromhim we have

the names Murchison and MacMurchie.Some of the Murcho's descendants

were known by the name MacAmhaisdirfrom which derives MacMaster, Mastersand Masterson. It is suggested that their

progenitor was a minister or Master ofArts.The name Dove and Dow are

Anglicization of the name Calman and ap-pear to have been adopted by descendantsof Colman who emigrated to the Lowlands.

As you can see, the MacColman septis certainly a twisted path.

Each of the other septs contain anequally fascinating history with a list ofnames contained within.

Our Clan has a long, rich history dat-ing back more that one thousand years.

And as we now know through vigor-ous YDNA research, we were never de-scended from any prince in Ireland. Ourhistory is embedded in a time long ago inthe westem part of what is now Scotlandwhere, at some point, we shared an ances-tor with our cousins the MacGregors.

So, ifyour family tree purports to takeyou back to the mlthology of Buey AnselanO'kyan (the Prince of Ulster who crossedthe Irish Sea to Dalraida), it's best to take acloser look as it is almost certain he neverexisted. Our people were in Scotland longbefore that.

Richard GwynallenFor thirteen years, the westside of Baltimore,

Maryland was where I went to work each day incommunity development, Our office was the oldBirckhead Mansion in Reservoir Hill. Built in thelate 18th cenhrry, the building has also been knownas the Bond Mansion, the Norwegian Seamen'sHome, and one of the Mayor's Stations underMayor William Donald Schafer

Next door to Reservoir Hill was the colnmu-nity ofAuchentorolie Terrace (pronounced locallyas AU-ken-trol1ey). When I started work in Reser-voir Hi1l, I knew nothing about Auchentorolie Ter-race. However, once I leamed about the neighbor-hood, I gathered that the name had Gaelic roots.At some point I looked into it and discovered thatthe community was on part of the estate originallyowned by a Buchanan family.

One summer Itook a walk in DruidHiil Park, which ad-joins several commu-

nities, including Reservoir Hill and AuchentorolieTerrace. My destination was a cemetery to which Ihad been directed, visited by few and unknown tomost.

This is the Rogers-Buchanan cemetery where1ie the original owner of the estate, GeorgeBuchanan;his wife, Eleanor Rogers;and a numberof their descendants. According to Baltimore Heri-tage, among them are "a Revolutionary War vet-eran who served at Valley Forge with George Wash-ington, a Confeder-ate spy and sabo-teur, and a cantan-kerous slave-ownerwho created the'Druid HiltPeach'."tIndeed,though there areonly twelve gravesin this cemetery they tell the story of conflicts

There is a 1ot of history packed into this small least in the imagination, that it is most appropriatearea. to begin this story.

The building standing on the site of theBuchanan house is not the original one. InBaltimore s Historic Parks and Gardens, EdenUnger Bowditch contends that the Buchanan housewas on the site of'the current Druid Hill ParkMansion,2which is identified by the Maryland Zooas the third house to occupy the site.

While the Zoo in its analysis offers no infor-mation about the original BuchananHouse,3 Balti-more Heritage, which indicates that the Buchananhouse was on that site, refers to it as "a castle knownas 'Auchentorolie,"', and that it bumed during theRevolutionary War.a

Enter Nicolas Rogers, an architect who in1783 marries his cousin, Eleaaor Buchanan, grand-

daughter ofGeorge and Eleanor. They move into anew home which Nicolas builds on the property,as the original Buchanan house has by then ceased

to exist. Sixteen years later, in 1796, the Rogershouse (House #2 on the property) was destroyedby fire. As it was being rebuilt in 1801, tragedystruck again when the Rogers's downtown resi-dence was also destroyed by fire. The family thenretumed to their summer estate in AuchentorolieTenace before the new home (House #3) was com-pleted, after which it became their year-round resi-dence. Thus, the Mansion House in Druid Hill Parktoday is the third one on the Buchaaan property.Its basic structure is still that ofthe original NicolasRogers house, 5but two wings that were plannedfor either side of the Mansion House were neverbuilt.6

Baltimore Abounds in Scottish Place

Names . . . but...Baitimore has many Scottish place names;

ones taken directly from places in Scotland, suchas Barciay, Lennox, Dumbarton, and Argyle; andothers Scottish-inspired, like Loch Raven, DruidHill, and Waverly. And, of course, there is thestatue of William Wallace in Druid Hill Park.David Dobson recorded information on thousandsof Scots, Highlard and Lowland, who were in theChesapeake region in the colonial and the earlyyears of the late colonial period in his book Scors

onthe Chesapeake, 1607 - 1830. However, therewere no large settlements of Scottish Gaels inMaryland such as were established in North Caro-lina or Georgia, nor Ulster Scots communities suchas were founded in Pennsylvania, or later in Vir-ginia and North Carolina, nor large influxes com-parable to the Irish in the 18th and 19s centuries.

Most of the Scots arriving in Central Mary-land in the colonial period were poor and were notreceiving property or high positions.

The numerous Scottish names of places inBaltimore derive more from romantic notions ofScofland than uplifting actual Scottish culture. Thenovels of W'alter Scott were some ofthe most popu-lar books in the 18th century.

According to Ian Grimble in Scottish Clansand Tartans, Scott, himself, believed that an en-thusiasm for adopting tartans, even by Lowlandfamilies who had no previous connection to tar-tan, started as eaiy 1707 as a show of oppositionto the Union with England. In any case, an abso-lute tartan mania followed King George IV's visitto..Edinburgh in 1822. Between the popularity ofScott's books andthe talrtan craze, a trend had de-veloped of evoking the romantic landscape of theHighlands and of the noble Highlander who livedso close to nature. It was not the real Scotland. It

was a sentimental image evoked by self-servinggentry and other wealthy people with no or limitedcultural connections to Highland Scotland, all thiswhile the authentic world of the Gael was beingdeshoyed through enclosure of common lalds andclearing of large expanses of land. We would callit cultural appropriation today

Nonetheless, there were a few Scots in posi-tions of prominence in the Ba.ltimore area who leftdistinct marks. This is one such true BaltimoreScottish story.

George's Family OriginsGeorge Buchanan was bom prior to 7 July

1696, the date upon which his baptism was regis-tered at Edinburgh in Midlothian, Scotland, toMungo Buchanan, Esq. and Anna Barclay.T Thereare sources that report his birth year as 1698, but Iuse the above date because ofthe baotismal record.

What have I been doing duringthese months of the pandemic?Well, l've been at home coloring myhair!

Mungo and Artra were of the lands of Hiltounand Auchentorlie. Entries in the National Recordsof Scotland indicate Hiltoun was in the parish ofF orteviot (FothairTabhaicht in Scottish Gaelic) in

. :-Stratheam (Srath Eireannin Sconish Gaelic).8

Auchentorlie House is off the A82 in WestDunbartonshire. Mungo bought Auchentorlie andother lands from the Colquhouns in 1709.e

The family is descended from the Buchanansof Drummkill in Stirlingshire.l0 Mungo's father,also named Mungo, was of Middle Tulliechewanin the Vale of Leven (MaghLeamhnain ScottishGaelic) at the south end of Loch Lomond (LochLaomainn in Scottish Gaelic). He held a charter toMiddle Tulliechewan from Sir John Colquhoun ofLuss as of28 November 1654. Therefore, the fam-i1y were tenants ofthe Colquhouns ofluss. MungoBuchanan appears in records as Writer to the Sig-net, a solicitor who was a member of the Societyof Writers to Her Majesty's Signet.ll

In the Maryland ColonyGeorge Buchanan imrnigrated from Scotland

before 1723, aheady a physician. He received landquickly. According to the historic register descrip-tion from the Baltimore City Commission on His-torical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP), "Hereceived landl in 1723 by patent from the Mary-land Colony and which he named for the familyholdings in Scotland." The family land-holdingof Auchentrolie was near Paisley, just east ofGlasgow.l2

He also rose to the top of Baltimore societyquickly, becoming one ofthe city's seven originalCommissioners appointed to plan "BaltimoreTown" at its founding tn 1729, and was a memberof the Generai Assembly from l7 45 to I7 49 .13 Hemarried Eleanor Rogers sometime before 1 729 . She

brought with her 250 acres called "Hab Nab at aVenture".ra By 1740 they held 579 of the 745acres that now constitutes Druid Hill Park.ls By1750, they had increased their holdings to twelveparcels totaling 1,684 acres.16

Sidebar:The Druid Hill Park Master Plan gives the

translation ofAuchentrolie as "frelds of sorrel".rsIndeed, "auch" comes ftom the Gaelic "achadh",meaning a field, meadow, or plain, but I couldn'tfigure out how the rest of the word might mean"sorrel". There are,many Gaelic words for "sor-rel'', but none match.

41993 Baltimore Sun article records some-thing similar: "The name has a Scottish origin andrefers to a flower similar to heather,"le

But what flower? Heather is not sonel.Aitematively, Anthea Smith in Finding the

Charm in Charm Clry writes that she fnds in PlaceNatnes of Scotlarzd by James Johnston that it trans-lates as "Fieid of Sor1ie",20 but in looking throughthe book I couldn't find that reference.

Somewhere I had heard the translation as

"fields of sorrow", so I explored that possibilityand came up short as well. I'm a Scottish Gaelicleamer, but not fluent, so I gave the challenge oftranslation to two fluent speakers, Scott MacllleMhoire and Liam O Caiside.

They, too, could not find the etyrnology onany Scottish or Gaelic language site, or any termfor sorrel that would result in "-trolie."

As regards the "Field ofSorlie" concept, Liamwrites, "It would have to be 'the Sorlie'

-Achadhan t-Sorlie - but what's 'Sorlie?' It wouldn't bethe name Somhairle. You wouldn't have a 'fie1d ofthe Somhairle."' The "t" in Auchentrolie seems toimply the presence of the definite arlicle in theoriginal Gaelic.

The Sun article may well be closest, but wewould have to know what plant is meant. Stil1,though we caffiot rule out that the field in ques--

tion was named for some event that occured there,it seemed most 1ike1y to Scott and Liam that it re-fers to the name of some plant that grew there. Theoriginal Gaelic would be "Achadh an t-xxxxx".,(. ^ . .,Liam O' Caiside suggested that "lfit is 'an t-', theplant name may begin When the defi-nite article is written as "an tJ', the first letter after

the hyphen is silent. Therefore, the garbled Gaelicof Auchentrolie could preserve the pronunciation,but memory ofthe original could preserve the "s"in the English translation.

End SidebarGeorge and Eleaaor had nine children who

are listed in the website, Early Colonial Settlers ofSouthern Maryland and Virginia's Northern NeckCounties, eight of which appear in George's will.Those children were Lloyd, Eleanor, Andrew,Archibald. George. Elizabeth, James. Karharine,andWilliam."

The family appears to have been connectedto St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, com-monly known today as Old St. Paul's Church atwhat is now 233 N. Charles Street. The baptismsand marriages of all their children, from Lloyd in1729 to William in 1748 were recorded at St. Paul's.

During their years, St. Paul's would havemoved from its original location somewhere nearthe head of Colgate Creek near present dayDundalk, Maryland and on the same peninsulawhich would host the Battle of North Point in 1 8 1 4,to "Lot 19," in the Original Survey'' of 1730 estab-lishing Baltimore Town.

It was the highest pointjust inside the origi-nal town borurdaries on the north end. A small brickchurch facing south towards the harbor, a rectoryand cemetery plots were built in 1739. The presentchurch is the third St. Paul's Church on the origi-nal platted 1ot of 1730. St, Paul's has the distinc-tion ofbeing the only property stiil r;nder its origi-nal ownership since the founding of Baltimore

One of these sons,Andrew, bom in 7734,was very involved in thepolitics and military ac-tion ofthe revolution. Hewas a member of theCommittees of Corre-spondence in 1774 andthe Committees of Ob-servation in 1775. Thesecommittees, plus the.

Hewas in the same years a captain of the 1"t Companyof Baltimore County miiitia. On 6 January 1776he became one of five brigadier generals in theMaryland troops."

George Buchanaf,r was a physician and re-mained one until his death, and he is usually re-ferred to as such. However, he was also a land-owner and a slave owner. The former is clear fromhis land holdings. The latter is proven by his wil1.In it he leaves:

George died in 1750 and was the first grave

in this small family cemetery. His eldest son, LloydBuchanan, took over the estate v{hen on 28 Janu-uy 1752, his mother, Eleanor Rogers Buchanan,released her share of "Hab Nab at a Venture" tohim on 28 January 1752. Lloyd Buchanan fully tookover operation of the estate by 16 October 1758when he posted an administrative bond on her es-

Hence, the Rogers Buchanan cemetery and hereyou find Lloyd and his wife, and their children andgrandchildren.

This couple also transformed the operationfrom a plantation to more of an estate, reducing,but not doing away with, slave labor.

Nicolas Rogers was an architect and built theirhome on the site of the present Druid Hill Man-sion House. That original structure sti1l "forms thebasic structure of the present Mansion House".27

The estate uriderwent extensive landscaping as

weli, even creating the rolling, sloping lawn oftheexisting Mansion House.

It is believed that it was Nicholas and Eleanorwho renamed Auchentrolie as "Druid Hill", per-haps drawing upon that sentimental picture of Scot-land in the popular imagination that the gentrystrove to foster. Perhaps the goal was to evoke asense of natural mystery about their land. Or per-haps they were more knowledgeable. The Scot-tish Gaelic word for "Druid" is "draoidh", the ety-mology of which is thought to render in Englishsomething like "tree-knower". Perhaps the namewas intentional because of the large numbers oftrees on the estate, particularly oaks. NicolasRogers had studied in Glasgow, Scotiand, so, again,it is possible that he had developed an interest therethat 1ed to the name.

The Druid Hill Peach receives a reference inThe Horticulturist and Journal of Rural Art andRural Taste, r,vhere it is stated that the Druid HillPeach was originated by L. N. Rogers, Esq, and " .

This was wdtten a year or two ago for my ENFI publication.I love to write, but don't get much chance. Enjoy!

I've always loved this time ofyear. It's justpast back to school...and that meant shoppingfor school supplies l My heart goes "pitter-pat-ter" at the thought bf new notebooks, new di-viders, new paper...new pencils andpens...WOW!

My grandmother always made most of myschool clothes and this time of year we went toPhelps Fabric Store in downtown Jacksonvilleto pick out some new cloth for me.

In my John Gonie school annual, there is aphoto of me in one of my favourite ga.rments

from the hands of my beloved grandmother. Itwas a skirt made from kitchen curtain fabric.

When I stood still the pleats looked iike itwas a biue and white checkedy skirt. When Imoved, stripes ofred flowers showed. I thoughtI was the epitome of fashion whenever I wore it.

Mv mother once ourchased an entire BOLT

So, we had pyjamas of red tiger print; wehad underwear (Slips aad a petticoat with rufflesfor me and boxers and bathrobes for my broth-ers); cut-outs of "tiger hides" with which todecorate an1'thing. I remember having red tigerpillowcases and, yes, there are bits ofthis clothin my grandmother's quilts, sewn by her handsand which are so precious now.

Shopping for school supplies and a newgarment or two - and it was time to retum toleaming.

My grandmother always sent me to schoolwith her voice rin5iing in my ears, "Shugar, leameverything you have a chance to ieam. You neverknow when you will need whatever skill youare leaming.

Amazingly, I have followed her advice for

of red tiger print yardage. I remember both of Decorating my home has always been ajoy. Mymy brothers - and me - crying at the thought of Auntie Mildred taught me so much. When I askedwearing that print. We pleaded with our grand- her what her own decorating style was...she replied,mother to make things for us that did not "show." "Old money, Sweetheart, old money."

my whole life until now - andmost likely will always do so.

I've leamed some seem-

ingly strange things. I can decorate a fancy cake; Ican nrn a radio station hansmitter and I passed theFederal Communications test to broadcast. I can bea Life Guard and run and leap into the water and neverhave my head go under the water! I can castate apony.

I can create, plan and organize a BIG parade oraimost any event. I can crochet and do needlework.I've leamed to ride bareback broncs in the rodeo andwas a pretty good barrel racer. I was taught aboutold-time medical cures for horses - and have usedsome of those on both me n' Tom.

I can lovingly care for most animals on a farmor that you might have for a pet. I know how to testdairy cows for Brucellosis aad give any kind of shotsto horses. doss and cats.

I've always been a bookaholic and I have leamedto cook and bake and do upholstery new embroiderystitches and so much more from books. Most of rvhatI know about computers, I've taught myselffrom books.

As a genuine Scottish Mutt, I have read and readand read and tried to absorb everything in Scotlandand in the USA from 'othose who know."

I can paint a Baptistry painting and design mostanlthing.- You never really leam genealogy. I'm continu-ing gty lifetime study. I'm trying. Just last night, Idiscovered another great grandfather who was be-headed by King Henry VIII.

Please take my grandmother's advice and neveqever, stop leaming anything and everything that youhave an opportuniry to leam.

Plus, it's great fun!

A BURNSIAN CONUNDRUAI\

John S. "Jack" Gibson <w4svh@aol.com>

Being a sonof a British Litera-ture professor, thehusband of a Brit-ish Literahre pro-fessor wife, andhaving read exten-sively, I've gaineda bit of knowledgeand appreciationfor the works ofRobert Bums. Heis my favorite poet,and my favorite poem is Tam o'Shanter (espe-cially after visiting the Auld Kirk and the Brigo'Doon in Alloway in 2015). I am all for RobertBums. He is my man!

Some ofhis works are based on parts ofoldand forgotten Scottish songs and poems. Hebrought many ofthese oldies to life again and thatis part of his fame. He did invent new themes,concepts and details in many of his works and,like most other writers, borrowed some of thosefrom the past on occasion. That is fine and theway most writing goes even today. So, the fol-lowing is not a criticism, it is a question of sim-ply finding the truth.

Several years ago, I became aware of simi-larities in one on Bum's most famous pieces(Scots,Wha Hae, 1793) and that of an earlierAmerican writer, Patrick Henry (in a publishedspeech, 1775). I put a question about this in theform ofa "free verse" poem and sent it to severalliterature academics in Scotland andAmerica. ..and received no responses! I find thatcurious; is this matter overly controversial, or eventaboo? Take a look at the poem and let me knowwhat you think.

@***,/,,%LryRobert BumsWrote the most famous Scottish sone.including the words"Chains and slaverie!"and "...your sons in servile chains!"Ending with the strong thought"Liberty's in every blow!Let us do or die!"

Patrick HenryWrote the most famousAmerican Revolutionary speecha few years earlier,including the words"...submission and slavery..."and "Our chains are forged!"Ending with the strong statementtt,

. .as for me,give me liberty or give me death!"

Are these similar words and thouehtscoincidental,or both ofAmerican influence?Let the Scottish & American

academicians debate;afore they have not. Swell;I have my opinion...and you may have

- yours.In any case, each writer knew his ty'rant

well!

The Lady Buchanan, continued from page 2

We have been mainly staying in Scot-land but, more recently things are starting toopen up, albeit in a safe socially distancedway. I am keen for the new 'normal' life toresume as, if it does no! then this would causegreater hardships all round for the wholepopulation.

There have .been a few spikes of thevirus around Scotland bqt these arefortuately small and people are learning,like us, how to adapt to this new situation.It has been hard for us but I cannot thinkhow hard it would be for those with youngchildren in a limited space or for olderpeople living by themselves, nor those whohave lost someone from the virus. I thinkmost people cannot wait to move on withrebuildins their lives.

With regards to the innauguratiolt we are

hoping for this event to be held next October butare awaiting to see how things manage to open

up around the world as we want everyone whowould tke toparticipaie, to be able to do so.

We are guided by a marvellous com-mittee of key stakeholders in CBSI as wewould also like this event to also be a cel-ebration and global family reunion: onewhere w-e are able to reunite after so manyrecent hardships and to celebrate our sharedfamily connections as we are one globalfamily. Things which affect Buchanan's inone country affect us all. We are reallyhumbled by the interest from others in ourevent and we hope, when it happens, it willreally be a milestone for the globalBuchanan clan.

About a month ago, Mike and the boys wentup the hill on the old Buchanan estate lands atCambusmore. It was absolutely beautiful up there.You can see a picture of Mike talking to Angus,Bruce and Rory about his childhood days there.

It was a glorious day on the hill and we allhad a wonderful walk, with the dogs running furi-ously around with their noses exploring every littlenook and cranny. You can see in the photos thescenery was stunning and despite being close toCallander it seemed worlds away from everywhere.It \ras so peaceful and relaxing.

What you can do to support athriving Scottish heritage for our

future generations

Jennifer Licko

Many Scottish ofganizations & Clans have amission to preserve Scottish history heritage, cul-ture and customs. The events they put together re-flect their purpose but many of them are also suf-fering from lack of new members, membershipretention and membership parricipation.

What can be done nowto ensure a tlriving Scottishculture for our future genera-

tions?Last summer I was

back home in North Caro-lina visiting my family. Iwalked into the grocery storeand noticed a young girl inher 20s coming towards mein one ofthe isles.

She locked eyes withme and said "I know youdon't know me but I'11 neverforget your visit to myschool when I was in 5th

grade. You taught us aboutScotland. I wanted to be aScottish dancer so badly af-ter that but couldn't find a

workshop_s, my experiences have proved how in-terested the students (aad the teachers) are in Scot-tish culture. I still receive emails from teachers andparents asking for recommendations on Scottishdance teachers, piping instructors, books on Scot-tish literature and more. I also set cards and letters

from students sharing withme what they leamed frommy visit.

This success led meto rcahze that teacherscould implement the sametype of programs, if theyhad my lesson plans andmaterials. This meansreaching more studentswith Scottish culture andheritage programs!

This very thought in-spired the creation ofScot-Iand In The Class.

Scotland In The Classis a complete unit \ryithover 32 lessons about Scot-laad for teachers to imple-ment. The activities and

teacher. Now I'm in college and I've found ateacher online and I'm taking lessons from her. It'schanged rny life AND I discovered that I have Scot-tish heritage!"

A quote from Johns Hopkins University re-minds us of the important role we have to reachchildren, "Simply put, a child's early years 1ay thefoundation for all that is to come."After visiting over 300 schools sharing Scottish

materials are included for every grade level andsubject in Elementary school. Teachers and stu-dents can access this living unit via the intemet toe4sure they always have the most updated and cur-rent materials.

Not only does .Sc otland In The Class promoteknowledge and excitement about Scotland and itsrich heritage, it also helps teachets celebrate cul-

tural diversity which is something that the teach-ers are required to teach.

After launching the beta program of ScotlandIn The Class, we received a lot of feedback fromteachers which helped us improve areas and pro-vide more of the elements that teachers reoortedworked the best in class.

"The lessons were very or-ganized. comprehensive. andengaging for the sfudents.THANKYOU SO MUCH!"

Kelly MeyerAs a former elementary

school music teacher, lessonswere created with teachers'needs in mind knowing the stan-dards they are required to teachand integrating Scottish culturalcontent into their curriculums -saving them a ton of time.

"It inspired the kids to go

beyond the unit and investigatetheir own heritage, ethnicclothing, ard playfiJ solo sing-ing. My principal happened tosit in on one ofthe lessons andwas absolutely fascinated! She

loved it! I'll be using these 1es-

sons everyyearl" Karen ClarkAn overall increase in

Scottish interest will drive aneventual increase in Scottishdance students, event partici'pants, and Scottish organizational memberships.

We have ateam of certified elementary schoolteachers that helped create the lessons and testedthem out in their classrooms. As classroom needs

changes, we update the lessons and materials. Lastyear when the Covid-l9 pandemic forced kids intoa home leaming situation, we quickly got to workon a remote leaming plan by recording video les-sons and sharing digitil activities with students di-rectly. We call this supplement, Sc otland At Homewhich is now reaching the homeschooling com-munities!

What we need to remember is that some stu-

dents will never have the opportunity to attend aScottish Highland games event or never exploretheir heritage unless the teachers help guide thatdiscovery.

There are school students who will discovertheir own Dassion for Scottish culture and tradi-

tions because of Scotland InThe Class and we want to besure they all have that oppor-tunity !

Together we can plant theseeds to asswe the long te1msustainability of

Scottish heritage and cul-ture by supporting programs\ike Scotland in the Class andScotland At Home !

There has never been aprogram like this to supportScottish culture and we arecommitted to giving teachersthe support they need to imple-

ment the lessons effectively.Plus, the need for this tlpeof program has never beenmore dire during a timewhen students need to con-nect to culture and traditions.

If you want to see thisprogram working in yourlocal schools or you want tomake a tax-deductible con-tribution to the education of

Scottish culture amongst the youth, visit<\ry\ry\/,i.promotescottishculture.com> for more in-formation about Scotland In The Class.

Cabers and ClicksAndy Hart

In the COMD pandemic, the annual Cov-enanter Scottish Festival was held in Quanyville, PA.Deep in Pennsylvania Amish Country one heard theclick of a horse and buggy at the same time one mar-veled at the tossing ofa caber. Only about 150peoplecame, who all wore masks, were socially distant, andhad different opinions about COVID. However, ev-eryone was united by their Scottish heritage and loveof games and festivals.

The main focus were the athletics. Hammersand sheaves were tossed, cabers lifted, and stonesthrown. In one event, a competitor was throwing asheafto break her world record, but alas it fell short.To my relief, I got in line for lunch, and one of thecompetitors was behind me. Had he been ahead ofme, I'm not sure what would be left.

Besides the athletics, six clans were repre-sented. Under their tents, new friends were made,

and old friends reunited. There was a very powerfulKirkin O' the Tartan Ceremony where the clansmarched behind a bagpiper. There was also a HaggisCeremony, and anyone who wantedto sample some of the Haggis wasinvited to partake. Rumor has itthere was some sootch to wash itdown. Probably the highlight waswhen everyone at the games stoodwhile Amazing Grace was played bythe bagpipes, and The National An-them and Scotland the Brave weresung. A dry eye was not to be found.

The games came and theywent. In these divided times, it wassuch a blessing to be together withpeople united by their love of Scot-land. Yes, the pandemic one daywillend, but love of heritage and Scot-land will endure for ever.

List of Septs of the Clan BuchananSept; an affiliated or allied family which is part of a larger clan in Scotland. Often

these were families that lived on lands owned by a clan chief, swore allegiance to achief for protection or were relatives of the chief. The word sept is lrish in origin.

Because Buchanan was originally a place name, and only after sevefal centurieswas used as a surname, we have many allied or associated family names. Many ofthese names derive from the forename or even the nickname of one of our chiefs orlairds. For instance the name Gibson derives from the nickname for Gilbert (one of ourchiefs) which is Gibb and his son's were called - you got it - Gibsonsl Others canderive from an occ0pation, such as Harper.or Rusk (a tanner) in service to a chief. Stillother names come frbm towns, villages or areas within-Buchanan territories such asLen(n)y.

lf your name is on this list then you are very likely a member of the Clan Buchanan,lf you are in doubt feel free to contact us at info@theclanbuchanan,com

A NOTE ON SPELLING: There are many hundreds of variations in the spelling of these names.lf yours is not an exact match, don't worry we are familiarwith them all,
