Aye and my Covenanting forefathers, some of whom were
probably killed by Gaels.

And probably killed a few as well...

Quite possible. I do know they were involved in a slight
scuffle with a Captain John Graham of Claverhouse **
and his dragoons at Drumclog in 1679.

** Also known as 'Bluidy Clavers' or 'Bonnie Dundee'



if nothing else is certain, it's that Scots have always been
fair adept at fighting each other.

A tradition maintained to this day ?



Where have all these Scots landed gentry suddenly appeared from then ?
Previously you stated you were the "Daughter of a Polish father and an
Anglo-Irish mother".

Misplaced hubris...pure and simple.

Actually I do believe I may have tenuous connections
to a certain Barncluith on the Avon Water.

Obviously a mis-spelling of Baron Cluith !

Cluaidh is the Gaelic name for the Clyde. Possible connection?
