Bagpipes

My maternal side of the family is Scottish.  We can trace our lineage back to Queen Mary of Scots.  I don’t know the exact connection but I’ve been told it's true.   I’ve also been told that the Kinghorn name originates way back when the King gave the clan a piece of land shaped like a horn, along the coast of Scotland.  There is now a town called Kinghorn in Fife, Scotland.

Mom had this man play the bagpipes at the funeral Thursday.  It was wonderful.   He brought tears to my eyes.

Someone in the Family need’s to document and record the old stories..    (hint, hint)
