The Kilted Life?

Forum pic? I just don't know how to access same.
Might you say what clan? Mine is a sept of MacLeod, MacFarlane and Gunn.

Interesting fact: Some of the clans trace their origins to norwegian vikings, who are also my ancestors. The Leod in the above-mentioned MacLeod was a viking named Ljótur. The word ljótur means ugly in my language today, but in old norse meant face or head and was a male name. If I remember correctly, all MacDonalds are descended from a Somerled, Summarliđi in norse. The clan split in two branches, called Torquill and Tormod. Both are common names in my language and in my family. Here they are spelled Torkil and Tormóđur. Both refer to a man of Thor, the God.

workman. there was much inter-marriage among the Picts/Scots and Vikings a millennium ago. Both Norse and Scot run through my veins. Probably Irish in the mix as well, though the Ulster Scots in the area my family hailed from were historically insular and tended to marry among themselves only.

Somehow, I think I'd look cooler smoking a pipe while kilted. Those who wear kilts would argue they are cooler than those wearing pants.
