Southern man.  Great grandad was Scottish clan McKenzie. Moved halfway around the world to settle somewhere just as cold and wet as Scotlamd. That or to get away from the English. But they followed as well.  Found our own highlands after the clearances. Local rugby team is known as the Highlanders. Southland had a Scottish burr in their accent into the 1970s but I don't notice it any more with GenX or younger.  [MEDIA=youtube]bQz5RmKFdeE[/MEDIA] Names a corrupted version of Dun Eideann aka Gaelic for Edinburgh. There's events on St Andrew day, highland games, and some butchers sell haggis.</blockquote>
