Hi Michael :)

Yes you will find that MacTavish still has their name claiming us Thompson's. However, the map I put a link to has Thompson's listed on it near Edinburgh. That's why I sent it...and that's why it's in our clan tent at the games :)

Definitely still have to be very careful of the intermingling of them & us. It will take years I'm sure before OUR crest is displayed properly and on all the many websites there are out there.

Cheers!

Thanks CheryLL I looked at this, very interesting, but like they say the language is different in the way certain words and phrases are said, I believe that exists in the world all over.  The southern accent in the south of United States, the New England accent of the states  such as New York, Maine, Vermont, etc, The Boston accent, the New York city accent. i live in an area near Montreal Quebec, Canada. In the northern part of the province you have the way the French people from lac St-jean talk and the way the french people from the eastern area talk and the french from the Montreal city area.  This exist I was in central England a few years ago and we travel by care to western Scotland and to eastern Scotland and back to central England and do you think I heard the same language everywhere no. When i was in the Pub in Derby England My sister in law said to me did you hear the girl speak, I said no she said listen next time the girl speaks, they call that Jordy i believe was the word, because the girl came from a little further north of where we were and she had an accent from the area she was from. So no matter where you go you have to adapt and listen and learn to understand the language, Was I in Derby, England (central England) I was listening to a young person talk and then the guys father talked and wow I wondered where his father was born, because he had more accent and more pronoun cation of the old language.
