The MacDougall tartan.In the US today is Tartan Day a day to celebrate Scotland! It is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns so Scotland has had several events going on for the past few days in the form of Homecoming Scotland. This is an advertisement video that is rather pretty.
I am Scottish on my father's side. I am a Dowell of the Clan MacDougall and a member of the Clan MacDougall Society of North America.
Vincere vel mori (Latin)
~~ To Conquer or Die
And this is the crest with the motto in Gaelic that can also be translated as "Victory or Death"
Cool, huh? And, today is also MY birthday!
