If it's not Scottish...

For Will's big Christmas gift, I found a 1795 map of Scotland....in German (frame included)! It's perfect, since his heritage is Scottish and mine, German: A perfect melding of us. We have hung it in the dining room, so our dogs have something at which to look.

After much searching, we found the Cunningham region on the map. It is in top left of the orange bit (see the different colors of the different sections on the photo of the big map?) it is right on the western border of Scotland, near Arran Island. If you look at the second photo, you can see "Cunning......h....a..m" spreading out towards the east.
I totally think that this means that Will *has* to wear his kilt at our wedding. I mean, he has to honor his family's heritage. I plan on wearing a drindl, after all.

Yes, but the real questions are:

1. Will he wear the traditional underlayment for a kilt?

and

2. Will you wear your hair like Heidi there?
