King, I have too many Blairs, Duncans, and Atholls in my family history to be anything but a Highlander. Not surprised but glad to hear you wear the kilt. Was helping my father go through some of Duff's papers last month and was reading the original letter of introduction my great great grandfather was given by Victoria's personal secretary as he departed his employment as a gameskeeper at Balmoral to move to Canada. I think from about 1848.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

That letter is a treasure. Keep it out of the light to preserve it. Or if you frame it, make sure it's mounted out of direct light, matted and acid-free to museum standard. Just imagine: you're carrying the tradition on in our mostly wide-open spaces, a larger Balmoral!
