| You got it. goofy name for a bunch of Highlanders. Anyway, what's
with this clan, would this be the one? Be in Edinburgh in three

| I do not know of an American branch of the clan but if you ever
go to Scotland Colonel Faquarson has a castle nicer and larger than
than the Queen's , Balmoral. It is located on Deeside just
a few miles before you enter the town of Brammar.

| Just read 248.1
Will look for Christie. Sounds like a Sept of a clan rather than
a clan itself. Sept members have full clan rights (like fighting
and dying for the clan).

CHRISTIE, and CHRISTY are Septs of the FARQUHARSON Clan.
(As a surname though, in Scotland it means "A diminutive of Christopher,
which signifies Christ's carrier.")

| Speaking of well dressed Scots.
Back in the 18th century at Ft. Ticonderoga, there were many soldiers
of Highlands origin. Their penchant for bladed weapons was such
that it made it necessary for the command to issue a directive limiting
the number of bladed weapons a Scot could carry to three to include
Sghain Dhubh, Dirks, and swords, as well as bayonets and official
cutlery. It would seem that the well armed Highlander carried at least
one Sghain, one dirk, a broadsword and often a claedhaemhor to round
things out; sometimes an axe would also be added to the whole creating
a very heavy kit and a very impressive spectacle going into battle.
