Why Here? Why Now?
Scotland
Many immigrants Scot-Irish, referring to those who are Scottish, but moved or were born in Northern Ireland. They were pushed from Scotland because of the oppressive rule of the King and they yearned for religious freedom.
Scotland Flag
The Scotland flag, as you can see, is blue with a whit cross, The Cross of Saint Andrew. The colors of the flag represent peace and honesty (White) and truth, loyalty, and justice (Blue).
Texas
Texas was very desirable to those who wanted to start a new life, even after it was annexed into the US. Many were pulled towards Texas because of its religious freedom and the cheap land. The Scottish dispersed all over Texas, not settling in certain regions.

The Clans of Scotland
Jardine; Cave Adsum
The Jardine clan is one of the many clans in the highlands. The word 'jardine' is French for orchard. Most clan names and motto's will be in French or Latin, although some are English and Galic. Their motto, Cave Adsum, is French for "Beware, I am here".
Mac Donald of the Clan Donald; Per Mare Per Terras
The Mac Donald of the Clan Donald is one of the six Mac Donald Clans. Their motto, Per Mare Per Terras, is Gaelic, a very old language. It means "By sea and by land". There are more surnames starting with 'Mac' than any other prefix in a surname.
Gow; Touch Not the Cat Bot a Glove
The Gow clan is one of six clans that refer to touching cats in their motto. Gow is Gaelic, I believe and their motto, Touch not the Cat Bot a Glove, which means touch not the cat without a glove.

What Is This?
Haggis, a traditional Scottish delicacy is said to be delicious but, frankly, sounds disgusting. It is the internal organs of a sheep or calf made into a pudding with oatmeal and suet, boiled in the stomach of the animal and seasoned.
What Is This?
Fingal Cave is a natural wonder in Scotland. It looks man made, but it was actual formed by lava patterns which, when cooled, shrunk into columns. It is known to the Gaelic as Uamh-Binn (Cave of Melody) because of the eerie echos made by the waves smashing against the cave. It is located in an abandoned island, Staffa, off the shore of Scotland.
What Is This?
This breed of dog is a Cairn Terrier (the same as mine!) bred in the Scottish Highland. They are one of the oldest breeds of terriers, originating from the Skye Terriers. They were bred to keep lizards, bugs, and small rodents out of the cairns, or stone piles. When domestically bred, they do act more like cats, chasing squirrels, lizards, and birds. Plus, they're super cute!
Mary Queen of Scots
A Brief History
Mary suceeded the throne at the age of one week after her father, James V died. She married King Francis II, becoming Queen of England, Scotland, and France. After her husband died she was no longer queen of France and went to marry her cousin. Her new husband then murdered her secretary and was later assassinated. She gave birth to King James VI and then married Earl of Bothwell. Scottish lords then locked her up and she gave the throne up to her son.Website: http://www.britroyals.com/scotstimeline.asp
