Quote for Tartan, & A Scottish Event

Written note states:
“m @ MacGillivray Hunting

This clan originated in Argyll + from Mull + Lochaber. They came to Inverness-shire at an early date + since 13th century have been associated with clan Chattan. Name from Gillivray- settled in Dunmaglass in Strathnairn 1500 supported Royal Stewarts. In 1715 Rising, m @ Gillivray chief led clan Chattan regiment. Rising of 1745-46 the chief was killed at the battle of Culloden

Badge - Red Whortleberry.”

I found this book of Scottish Clans and Tartans at a local church garage sale in Alberta Canada in 2019. Inside I found a few treasures.

The previous owner must have been doing research into their family’s clan. In 1971 they received a quote and sample from Anderson’s (William Anderson & Sons ltd) in Edinburgh for their Tartan.

The other find was a program of a Burns Night supper in Maidstone, Saskatchewan (Canada) from 1986. From the (hopefully) gravy splotches on it I hope they enjoyed their meal! I also really hope they were able to order tartan to wear to the event.

As I was born in Scotland and grew up in Canada (in Saskatchewan and Alberta) this was such a fun find. I thought I was just getting an old book about tartans and I ended up finding more history than anticipated.

Grateful and Excited!

I was born in Scotland as a dual citizen (grandfather was born in Canada) and my family moved to Canada permanently when I was a baby. I was put on my mother’s British passport back then and now after 34 years I have my own! It feels validating to have physical proof of my citizenships. Also feeling incredibly lucky and grateful to be a citizen of both of these nations.

Throwback Brand in Canada

As a Millennial who remembers the heyday of Paul Frank this was a fun surprise! Been loving them so far, they definitely leave my skin feeling clean and smooth. Long term use will definitely let me know if I breakout on them or not but I’m happy to use them for makeup prepping for the day! Also $4 CAD for 60 wipes?? Yes please!

The tree that has lived with my family since we moved into this house (first and only owners so far) in 1998, is being cut down in 2 weeks. I have been living with my parents since 2018 after my life completely fell apart, and this tree was always there outside my bedroom window.

It’s a choke cherry tree so in spring it would bloom these little white flowers that smell like nothing else I have smelled- just so good. In the late summer/early autumn the leaves turn burgundy and it attracts all sorts of beautiful birds that sing outside. Last year it even got the blessing of hosting a nest. In the winter it provides left over berries for the winter birds and when it’s frosty the branches glow in the light of the street lamp at night. Throughout the whole year it kept a lovely shade on my second story window, and gave me privacy and comfort.

It sadly has a fungus so it is now considered a hazard to other trees, as the pretty birds who visit spread it around. We were told by the town that we have to take it down as soon as possible so there was little to no warning. It has been such a shock and I can’t stop crying. Even though it’s sick it has buds popping up on its branches. I don’t think I will get to smell the blossoms again.

Am I overreacting? I full body sobbed when I found out, it was like a family member had been given a terminal diagnosis. Is this normal or emotional dysfunction?
