Re: MtMan-List: Scotts in the West

[Jeff Powers <kestrel@ticon.net>]

I've read fiction that has Scot Mountain men(complete with kilt)and do not
dought there were Scots in the mountains,but the Scots you name were all
booshways. Highlanders are so ethnically proud I can imagine kilts and
breechclouts made from kilts being seen in the SHINING MOUNTAINS!
