I'll be wearin' the tartan o' the clan Fraser...I haven't yet attended any functions but it's just a matter of time now..Which tartan? Do you participate in any of the local Scottish functions, such as Burns dinners, tartan ball, highland games, etc?
To keep this gun related, some facts about my clan; clan Fraser were the first soldiers to wear a ghillie suit. The Lovat Rangers (under Lord Lovat, the clan chief) were the first designated "sniper" unit. The only piper to play during the beach invasion on D day was from clan Fraser and played for his clan during the landing and through the day. When they were bogged down under heavy fire, Lord Lovat (there were a whole line of 'em) called for his piper to play a tune for the lads. The piper asked if he should walk up and down the beach as he played. Lord Lovat replied "that would be nice" and so the piper walked up and down the beach playin' a tune.
