I'm going to be working on the Maine Ulster Scots website over the next few days; adding things, removing things, readjusting things...you get the picture.
This is a good time for you to visit us at MaineUlsterScots.com and tell us what you would like to see on the site.
In the meantime, make a note that John T. Mann, Chair of the Maine Ulster Scots Project, will be presenting workshops about the Ulster Scots at the Maine Celtic Celebration in Belfast, Maine, on July 18, 19, and 20, and I will also be there talking a bit about Ulster-Scots genealogy and language. John will also be appearing at the Maine Highland Games August 16 at Thomas Point Beach, Brunswick, Maine.
Visit us at MaineUlsterScots.com.

The Games Season Is Upon Us
Well, folks, it's that time of year again. The Northeast Highland Games Season begins this weekend (April 5 & 6, 2008) with the Indoor Scottish Festival in Concord, New Hampshire. This event is sponsored by the New Hampshire School of Scottish Arts. This wonderful school has over 200 students enrolled in classes for Bagpipes, Highland Dance, Scottish and Cape Breton Fiddle, Smallpipes, Highland Drums and Pipe Band work. Check out the school and get more information about the Festival at their website.
You can find out when other Northeast Highland Games are scheduled by clicking on the "Highland Games Calendar" link on the left or you can get a full view of the calendar on-site by scrolling down to the bottom of this blog.
Keep in mind that the Maine Highland Games are Saturday, August 16, 2008. Same time, same location: Thomas Point Beach, Brunswick, Maine. Gates open at 8am.
Slainte,
Dianne
