Celtic Moment

Johnny Tulloch agus Mary agus Iain Alex Rory Angus Hector, Mary Sarah, Archie Dan, Alex Joe Little Johnny Dougal agus Theresa Duncan Peter All piled in a wagon for a dance in Glencoe Well they barrelled down the back roads By the farmhouse and the pasture They barrelled down the back roads Where the bochans wouldn’t go Sipped a little dealach just to get the diddle flowing Sang a gaelic song there was no radio When they got to the dance They could hear the fiddle playing The could see the couples swaying Through a window by the door Shovelled out a nickel to a man behind the wicket Then heard the prompter holler “Four couples on the floor” Well they danced all night there was nobody caring Shuffled in the gravel and they shuffled in the snow Stepped ‘er in the hall and they stepped ‘er in the parking lot Didn’t give a damn they just had to let her go Johnny Tulloch agus Mary agus Iain Alex Rory Angus Hector, Mary Sarah, Archie Dan, Alex Joe Little Johnny Dougal agus Theresa Duncan Peter All piled in a wagon for a dance in Glencoe Johnny Tulloch agus Mary agus Iain Alex Rory Angus Hector, Mary Sarah, Archie Dan, Alex Joe Little Johnny Dougal agus Theresa Duncan Peter All piled in a wagon for a dance in Glencoe All piled in a wagon for a dance in Glencoe All piled in a wagon for they were heading home.

I’m looking for what Scottish clan my family belongs to, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know some good resources for this that contain extended lists of family names and not just the main ones?

(The surname is Flint, btw)

I’m a history nut and I cant find a clan that my family belongs to.
I havnt done research on the Scottish side of my family before, so I dont even know where to start from the information I already have.
Any advice and what not would be appreciated

Is their any records on the internet i can look up for free? They were from the Island of Lewis in the Hebrides. And both of my great grandparents were half native american half scottish.

Moving to edinburgh with my husband and three small children. We need to be close to uni but we would really appreciate some help finding good schols and areas. Don’t know where to begin!

I have recently been cast in a play created to depict the Welsh history and folklore of Arthur Pendragon. In the cast list I am posted as Arthur’s half sister Igraine. As far as I am aware Igraine was, in fact, Arthur’s mother and Morgan Le Fey was his half sister.

Is there more to the genealogy I’m not aware of, or some story I can’t find on the internet that would help fill in the blanks?

Lyrics: Bliain an taca seo dimigh uaim rún mo chléibh Ní thiocfaidh sé abhaile go dtabharfaidh sé cúrsa an tsaoil Nuair a chífead é rithfead le fuinneamh ró-ard ina chomhairs clúdód le mil é, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór. Bíonn mo mháthair is mathair ag bearradhs ag bruíon liom féin Táim giobaithe piocaithe, ciapaithe, cráite dem shaol Thugas taitneamh don duine úd dob fhinnes dob aille snó Is chuaigh sé ar bhord loinge, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór Rachadsa chun coille agus caithféad an chuid eile dem shaol San áit ná béidh éinne ag éisteacht le ceol na n-éan ag bun an chrainn chaorthainn mar a bhfásann ann féar go leor ag tabhart taitnimh don duine úd, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór

What do you think is the best town in the Republic of Ireland that has good schools, family friendly places, nice people, safe neighborhoods, a large ratio of families, etc.

I would rather live on the west coast but anywhere is fine. Thanks!

The above link is an image of a stained glass window in Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall. It is the Flett family crest. I don’t know much about the history of coat of arms.

The word in the picture, “ROITHMAN” is significant in the crest but I can’t find any information for it.

Any info?
