About the Header

The tartan in the header, according to the internet, is a Gunn Clan original. According to my great aunt Mamie, we Jimersons descend from the Gunn Clan, probably as Jameson until we got to America. Which makes me wonder, could I be the sole heir to the John Jameson Irish Whisky fortune? For despite his distilled spirits being from Ireland, the original John Jameson was Scottish. Maybe I'll settle for a case. No? A bottle? Not even a wee dram? The motto, war or peace, either way works for us (or something like that) is also from the Gunn. The map shows our itinerary - Edinburgh, Inverness (one night), Orkney, Fort William, and back to Edinburgh. Last and most important, the Scottish Toast was a favorite of our late friend Jim. Damned few like him.
