It was the name "Highlander",I saw ye wi yer claymore and shield.Then I realised that some of the best highlanders in history have been the mothers bringing their families through the worst pish that life could throw at them.

Can people still get married on Christmas Day? I was surprised to find out that my great aunt had got married at Dunnet on Christmas Day 1913.
I seem to remember the post came on Christmas Day even in the 1950s but that's a very dim memory and it might be complete rubbish.

In the 1950s Christmas in Scotland (or at least here in the north) was not celebrated as it is today. People hardly gave it a second thought. New Year was the time for celebration and New Years day was a holiday for just about everybody, whereas in England New Year (Jan 1st) was just treated the same as any other day. I think people here in the North began to celibrate Christmas after Dounreay got underway and we had many families from the South who made there homes here and brought their customs with them, but also the advances in TV and Radio world brought the commercialism of Christmas into every home and we gradually adapted to the changes.

I much rather Christmas than New Year, it is a time when families, both young and old, all get together and have a great time

I had the same misconception, Cedric. And the same shock when I found out the actuality.

Nice post, Highlander. Nice to see you again.
