Found Your Site

Highland Games
Our McCabe and McCone ancesters from Scotland, plan a visit.
Found your website accidentally, trying to get information on Highland Games for Stone Mountain, Georgia,USA for October 15-17, to schedule family get-together for our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Glad I found your site. Two Scottish words in our family are : "Peel" as "keep your eyes peeled."
No, you don't peel your eyes. You keep eyes open for your sheep or cattle, and for predators or enemy from the top of a "peel" or small fortified tower with a movable stair or ladder. Ground floor vaulted and used as shelter for cattle.(1500's)
Also, the word "hope" for "help", as in "Hope me put this up."
My reply :
Paul & Elizabeth,
Thank you for your contribution. I'm also glad you found my site.
John.
