"Clan search" Scotland by bpwillet

I was told a few years ago by a distant relative that I was of Scottish heratige. Even more amazing was that I was a direct decendant of one of the still existing clans of Scotland. I had visited Scotland for the first time when I was in High School (almost 10yrs ago). It was my first exposure to Europe and traveling outside the US. I loved it and I always wanted to return. I found out that I am directly related to the Rose Clan. There exists a castle to this day and it prompted another visit to this great area of the British Isles.

I do not have anything on this page yet but I will as soon as I can. I took the trip as a part of a long road trip from my house in Cambridge (9hours) all the way to Inverness and back. I got to see Loch Ness and the surrounding cities, Sterling, Falkirk, Bannockburn, and everything in between. I hope to include some of the tips and photos from my first trip to Edinburgh. Though I will apologize in advance for the quality of those photos.

Some of Scotland's greatest monuments and historic sites are mere shells of their former glory. But none-the-less, they are magnificent sites and some still remind of social struggles.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention at least something of Scotland's natural beauty. The further north you go the more amazing it seems to get. If you get lucky enough to catch it on a clear day...
