I am such a Scot freak that I actually joined Ancestry.com to try and find a Scottish ancestor in my blood line. Somewhere! Anywhere! Come on, people! I spent hours and hours on the site, making family trees with more branches than the government. And finally (thank you, God!) I did it! I found my Scottish ancestor.
From the 1600s.
LOL Yep, I had to peel back the generations hundreds of years to find ONE drop of Scottish blood. But hey, I figure that one drop took root pretty hardcore, so I'm full on claiming it as my own.
I'm proud to be Scottish!
And I'm proud of this incredible Burns Night event with Team Kilt, Aidens Angels and all of you. Thank you for being a part of this awesome day!
If you missed any of the posts (which I can understand, since there has been a new post every two hours today!), never fear. Scroll on through them to get caught up. The giveaways will be open until 1/27/12 at 12:01am Eastern.
And as a very special thank you for being a part of the Team Kilt Burns Night event, I am giving away a personalized, signed paperback copy of Between! Simply complete the Rafflecopter entry below, telling me which post of the day was your favorite.
Now I'm off to find a dram of whisky and crawl into bed. Happy Burns Night, everyone!

I loved everything...Scotland is an underdog in my opinion. We all need more of it in our lives!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I have any Scots in me but my Mom's uncle can go back to Robert the Bruce! Scots are all about kin right? They'd take me in right? Right? One can only hope.... Thanks for a great time last night! Aiden was an angel. ;)
