Nearly all of the web pages on the Clan Galbraith Association website have been changed to make the page display more compatible with the Firefox web browser. The pages still display slightly better in MS Internet Explorer, but now work better with Firefox, also.

All of the changes are “under the hood” and won’t be noticed unless there is an error on a page. If you notice an obvious error in any page display, please notify the WebSite Admin via the link on our home page. “Techie” comments are also welcome, but we are mainly interested in display anomalies that would be noticed by a casual user.

So says the headline in our May Red Tower cover, shown in the preceeding post. 

The 2008 Biennial Gathering of The Clan Galbraith Association will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina from Monday, 14 April thru Thursday, 17 April 2008.  Mark your Calendars now!

We will participate in the 15th Annual Loch Norman Highland Games, located in Huntersville, North Carolina from Friday, 18 April, thru Sunday, 20 April.  Get your Kilties pressed and prepare to meet your many “Cousins”!

The May issue of our association journal, The Red Tower, is now online in the “Members Only” area of our website.

Our Red Tower editor, Stephanie “Taffy” Satter, has done it again, with the best issue ever!

An American family with a love of Scottish culture has bought the Galbraith ancestral home, Culcreuch Castle in Stirlingshire, Scotland. The new owners also purchased 300 acres of the surrounding estate.

David Littlefair and Andrew Haslam, directors of Hideaway Country Holidays, who have owned the hotel for more than 20 years will continue to act as directors for the property. The family, who doesn’t want to be named, paid an “undisclosed sum” for the property. Short and long term renovation projects are in planning and, apparently, the property will continue to function as a hotel, as in the past.

On the 24th of February, Larry and Barbara Patterson ably represented CGA at the NorthEast Florida Scottish Games at Green Cove Springs, Florida. They had a first-class display of Scottish and Clan Galbraith information at their table.

And Larry had a pair of claymores on display. Larry, can I borrow one of those to split my firewood?

The February issue of the Clan Galbraith Association Journal, “The Red Tower” is now available for download in our website “Members Only” area.  Caution!! This issue is 5 megabytes in size and will take quite a while to download if you don’t have a broadband internet connection.

A new section containing genealogy data on Jamaican Galbraiths has been added to the Members Only Area.  In addition a file containing Irish Galbraith genealogy and will data transcribed from LDS microfilm has been added to the Irish Databases and Wills sections.

Go to THIS website to view beautiful spherical panoramas of Scotland and Wales.  Apple Quicktime Viewer is required to view these panoramas, but it is well worth the trouble to download the viewer, just to see these panoramas.  The panoramas are stunning in full screen mode on my 21 inch monitor.  Just move your mouse in the direction you want to view and you will feel like you are standing in the middle of the scene!

The seasonal Winter Scheme is now online.  It will be replaced by the Spring Colors on 1 March.

CD #12, with 1553 pages of new Galbraith, Galbreath, etc, genealogy data has been added to the CGA Library.  Check out the ComputerMedia.htm page to see the list of files.
