Thank you Mike S for the link, but could the Scots who emigrated to America have adopted the local battle cry?, all Celts have an oral history of battle cries, the Romans have documented the battle cry of central Europe Celts, I do understand kiltedtom position though, is this thought of mine a bit tenuous? or does it have a glimmer of truth.Kit
