I saw this on the Web...I always thought Scotland was its own Country, I guess I was wrong?
LONDON (Reuters) - The owner of a tiny island off Scotland declared its independence from the United Kingdom on Saturday, saying he wanted the territory, population one, to be a crown dependency like the Channel Islands.
After Oliver Cromwell slaughterd half of the Irish with his invasion the Brits forced Scottish Prebyterians to relocate to Ireland. Gave them plenty of land and told them to propogate. Every person I've met in Ireland says McKendry is Scottish origin and there are McKendrys in Belfast, the Prod city.
Leave it to McKendrys to be given free land, made part of the majority because we were Prods and then some ancestor got the bright idea to give it all up.

what do I know but, the legend I've heard is that Dad's side was Scottish and Mother's side Italian. Is that right? Does that explain my olive skin??

What's that song, "Why'd ya do that?"
"Why'd ya do that", from what I have heard, is the Name of the Peas Autobiography...
