0 comments
The Sprouls are a Sept of Clan MacFarlane and we have received a special invitation to join the Clan at this fun event! Kilts and Cowboy Boots

Clan Gathering April 3-5 San Antonio, Texas

Clan Colquhoun. Clan MacGregor. Clan Scott.  Clan MacFarlane

 

For hundreds of years the clans in the Lennox fought for domination and resources. Ancient alliances between the MacFarlanes and Clan MacGregor against Clan Colquhoun are well documented. The Battle of Glen Fruin is one of the most famous events. The Clan Scott, meanwhile, was busy in the lowlands becoming one of the largest land holders in Scotland. In modern times, our clans in the USA share space in Scottish Games across the country. We have forged many friendships because of our shared love of Scotland and our Scottish heritage. Clan Colquhoun, Clan MacGregor, Clan MacFarlane and Clan Scott will be coming together, in a spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition, for some modern warfare in San Antonio in April. Join us for what will be a very special gathering

    The Haunting Melody - Cowden Hall

    As all good descendants of Walter Spreull know, Cowden Hall was the seat of the Spreull family from the 1300's to the 1600's. Today little remains of any structures, but some ruins from the 1600's can still be found. Much to my delight, I discovered that the Scottish musician and composer, Finlay MacDonald (Head of piping studies at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow), has composed a rather haunting melody about Cowden Hall. Enjoy the song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFLynSU6t3s
