Most of last year I had some health issues that were finally resolved last month with surgery. Hopefully I'll be 100% soon! Recently I was named (Western) Washington commissioner for the Clan Mackay Society USA, & have started full-filling that obligation. It was at a local highland games a couple weekends ago that my living history interest took a new direction. While a couple of us "vets" were sitting around the Mackay booth, we kicked around the idea of combining living history with our love for all things Highland Scots, & thus after some discussion & contact with regimental hq we were authorized to form a company of the 84th ROYAL HIGHLAND EMIGRANTS here in our corner of the world! (Our secondary impression is the pro-Hanoverian militia known as the Mackay Independent Coy 1745-46). As of yet I'm still awaiting coy & brigade designation, but I look forward to working on my 84th impression. My persona's name will be "John Scobie", named after my 6th great-grandfather John Scoby born 1740 in Scotland & emigrated to the colonies in 1760 (eventually to settle in east-central Kentucky, where he died at about the age of 90). I look forward to updating you all on our progress & will post a brief history of the 84th RHE's for those interested. Aye...
