I always liked history at school as horses did a lot of work for most of the world in the past. I especially liked social & economic history, history of medicine & stage-coaching. I've been on holiday to Scotland many times. I did some genealogical research as I never seemed to fit in, in Yorkshire where I was born & educated & where I live now. My hair is much thicker & curlier & I've never felt English. I've always loved the sound of bagpipes. I've always loved tartan. I found out that 10 lots of my ancestors were Scottish, most of them were from Dunoon & moved to Durham during the struggles of Argyll. They were friends of the McDonald's & worst enemies of the Campbells. I also found I've got 2 lots of English ancestors & 1 lot each of Irish & French.
