For almost as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in my Scottish heritage and the traditions of Scotland. Hanging on the wall in the staircase of my grandmother’s home was a framed photo of my grandfather in full Scottish Highland wear. The photo grabbed my attention as a child and held it for years. It looked like he must have been Scottish royalty! At the time, I didn’t know the story behind the photo, but I can remember feeling intensely proud when I would see it on the wall, especially when I first learned that the Carmichaels descended from Scotland and that there was still an active Carmichael clan in Carmichael, Scotland.
Great article, Scott. It was fun meeting all the cousins I had not yet met at Stone Mountain as well, you included. There are two highland games here in Mississippi later in the fall and not so far from Carmichael, Mississippi, yes, that IS a place.
