I should have mentioned my mother in-law, love them dearly, was from Scotland. they are from the MacKenzie clan I have our tartan. she was a young from glascow who married a young from edinbourough. I am from nova scotia Canada and am making a house quilt. I am using the nova scotia tartan on the roof of the houses with the colors from the tartan as the solid colors and the Mackenzie tartan for the doors on the house.

I want one! My family hails from Dunbar, and the family name on that side is Dunbar. I had never heard of black Agnes before. Thank you for the "local" history lesson! We are also Killgores and Pattersons.

Well Sheilz, that was an interesting history lesson, thank you; you could have teamed up with Billy Connolly and the other young Scotsman who does documentaries about bonny wee Scotland! I presume Richard Whittington is one and the same "Dick Whittington"? I'm too young to remember the history of the battles between England and Scotland and don't read much; (75 this year!) but I got a sense of the rugged beauty of Scotland in your essay(novel LOL) especially when reading about Black Agnes. Love all the historic notes in your quilt too.
