Noble friends,

My favorite kilt store, Celtic Croft, posted a link on their news page 
to a digitized book called THE BOOK OF THE CLUB OF TRUE HIGHLANDERS 
complied by Charles Niven McIntyre in 1881: 
http://www.electricscotland.com/history/club/index.htm . Much of it 
seems to be out of period, or typical Victorian romantic drivel. Quite a 
bit is Irish or Britanic, and has nothing to do with Scotland (including 
a horny helmet; yes, it says this was actually found in the Thames, so 
somebody must have actually worn these things). However, there are some 
gems among these pages which might be useful to anyone interested in a 
Scottish or Irish persona. Among the images of possible interest are 
weaponry, household items, brooches, harps and other musical 
instruments, and some sheet music. Reading the text might take a while, 
but you can view the 100 or so pages of each volume via thumnails, and 
thus select whatever pages which might seem of interest.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
