The "doin's" is called Homecoming Scotland, and they are trying to get
LOTS and LOTS of people with Scots roots to come to Scotland for the
celebration... with the peak being The Gathering 2009 at the end of July
in Edinburgh...  It's a fer piece... but even an old geezer might get
caught up into the excitement of it...  ;)

Which reminds me... I still haven't gotten to writing you daughter an
email with our info to see if WE connect...  Life is crazy, of course...
;)
