Thanks Scott. Always a help as usual. I really enjoyed reserching the Scottish Fire Brigades. I will have to contact them soon. I feel ya about the "Irish Only" agenda, I dont understand why it couldnt be both.

Also checked out the Chicago page, AA. I'm familar with alot of these Emerald Societys like this. The D.C, Indianapolis, and FDNY FF Emeralds are pretty cool as well. If you talk to those guys, alot of em have Scottish decent as well. One of my brother FF's is trying to teach me the pipes and well just have to start up our own.
