Yesterday the president of Grandfather Mountain Highland Games stopped by our tent to
tell us how impressed he was with our video we did for the May 1st virtual calling of
the clans- announcing Clan Galbraith is coming to Grandfather. If you are not familiar
with the video, it features several members answering the call to video themselves
saying the pronunciation of their spelling of Galbraith. John Galbraith, our former
secretary, did an expert job of editing and piecing the snippets together.
For the July 8th actual calling of the clans, I wrote the following and my grandson,
Roston Kiefer recited it and added our torch to the flame:
In the virtual calling of the clans, you heard the names we call ourselves
But Since the 12th Century we have been known by other Names
Our first chief was called giant and wild man
The Lennox Earls called us loyal cadets
Young King Alexander called our 4th chief co-regent of Scotland
Robert the Bruce called us trusted friend for the shelter we gave him in the woods
that bear our name.
Some have called us Septs, but we are no one’s sept.
The Lord Lyon calls us an independent clan
Stop in and we will share our history,
Clan Galbraith is Here!
