Gordyville(a)aol.com WROTE:
At 56 years of age I have a tremendous interest in Scotish heritage.
When I am at the "Gathering of the Clans" here in Texas - Salado and
Arlington, I likewise see the imitation of days of old. But, it was not
until I walked down the narrow street through CAWDOR Village in
Nairnshire that I felt I was in the presence of my ancestors, even
though they had departed the area over 450 years ago.
Seeing the village, CAWDOR Castle, CAWDOR Church and cemetery and
surrounding area was a very memorable experience. The little village of
CAWDOR gave a feeling of peace and contentment and made me feel that I
had stepped back in time. At times I could almost place myself back in
the days of our early ancestors when the Clans were at their
prominence. The feelings I had there, and still feel, is a feeling of
joy and tranquility. I gained something special there that I will have
the rest of my life.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to ALL. May GOD be with each of you
every day for the rest of our lives.
