  • Electric Scotland's Weekly Newsletter for August 21St, 2020
    Electric Scotland's Weekly Newsletter for August 21st, 2020 For the latest news from Scotland see our ScotNews feed at: https://electricscotland.com/scotnews.htm Electric Scotland News I have now scanned in another book which does take some time as each page needs to be scanned so if it's a 200 page book that means it is at least 200 scans but often more as the book may be a bit skewed and has to be rescanned. Also thought it was time to do a bit of an update on My Canadian Experience to cover the Coviid-19 pandemic. I note the deficit in Canada is likely to be over 300 billion dollars. And at the end of Prime Minister Harpers reign he'd actually managed to eliminate the deficit. Been shopping in the newly opened British Store in Chatham so enjoying a few items that I haven't had for quite some time. Scottish News from this weeks newspapers Note that this is a selection and more can be read in our ScotNews feed on our index page where we list news from the past 1-2 weeks. I am partly doing this to build an archive of modern news from and about Scotland as world news stories that can affect Scotland and all the newsletters are archived and also indexed on Google and other search engines. I might also add that in a number of newspapers you will find many comments which can be just as interesting as the news story itself and of course you can also add your own comments if you wish which I do myself from time to time.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was held on 19 May 2018 in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The event brought together a diverse blend of humanity, whether as guests, doting public or the myriad of behind the scenes personnel or choral entertainers. Scotland celebrated the wedding in style with happy tears and conviviality. Thousands across the country celebrated the big day with afternoon teas and street parties. At gatherings, well wishers waved Union Jacks, donned Harry and Meghan masks and raised their glasses to the happy couple’s big day at venues across Scotland such as at Hamilton Park Racecourse where more than 100 fans gathered to watch on a big screen. There were hundreds of parties thrown across Scotland as people celebrated in the sunshine. One watcher said “The royals certainly know how to throw a party and it’s great that something like this can bring so many people together. The Citizen bar in Glasgow had the Union Jack bunting out for an afternoon get-together to mark the occasion. Drinkers in Sloans bar in Glasgow city centre got into the spirit of the big occasion by wearing Royal Family masks and toasting the couple.
