Morning, xmts!

my scot side comes from the prentices, who connect me to the Gray clan

now the irish in me comes from the Monck family who followed william over

which is ironic because both of my celtic femilies came from france at some point. i was wondering if anyone knows whether Monck has any older family ties and clans its associated with

(im doing research miself as well)
thanks

Thank you for all that information, it is very interesting. In the past I have spent many gruelling ,but happy, days stalking deer on the hills of Glen Moriston and they really are tough going! My wife is a MacDonell and knows the local history far, far better than I do----obviously! It is strange that I had never heard of these people----until now. Still, never to old to learn.

I personally have only been aware of them for about 3 or 4 months now.

It's funny, everyone talks about Flora MacDonald because of the romantic mistique of the situation, but they fail to mention a whole other bunch of interesting stories like the 7 men of Glenmoriston. It also sheds some light on to how devoted some of the Jacobite Highlanders still were to Charlie.
