The then Prince Charles visited Iceland (a few times I think) to go salmon fishing. My wife's great-aunt once told me about the impact this had on the village of Vopnafjörður. Apparently many young women there were quite excited about the prince ... untill he actually showed up.

Happy !

This tartan is for the "Cameron of Lochiel."

Among its most notable Clan Chiefs is Donald Cameron, the 22nd Chief of the Camerons, known as "The Gentle Cameron." (Born 1695, died 1748.)

During the of 1745, he fought for the cause of , but showed great mercy to the defeated city of Glasgow, which the city still recognizes today.

The Chief earned the name "Gentle Lochiel" for having spared when the army retreated north, and in gratitude the citizenry decreed that the bells of the should forever be rung whenever his descendants passed through the city.

Further along the A87, heading East through Glen Shiel, is the memorial cairn for Robert MacKenzie.

His story is here. A macabre tale that involves a dismembered head being toured around the country... in error.
