Ummm, I believe they were annihilated. But good old William was quartered, with the parts being sent to opposite corners of Scotland to show other highlanders what lay in store for them if they opposed British rule...

Ironically, one of my ancestors (a Douglas) was a follower of Robert the Bruce. He and his pal (a Sinclair) took the heart remains of King Robert to fight the crusades... well, that story didn't have a happy ending, so I'll end it right here.

Well, how about we substitute the word "persistent" for stubborn? It implies a nicer definition of the same thing!

I'm still contemplating another tattoo. It would have to be in a place that was not visible... and I don't know what I'd get. Which is why I've just been patiently sitting it out. Was thinking crossed swords or some other Celtic symbolism. Who knows?

Maybe if I do, I'll make a trip to your place and let your H have the honors.
