Tag 'Clan'

We are now 5 weeks until Christmas, and we are all asking the same question – “What do I buy for a man who has everything?!”. Really though, what do we buy them? Men always go out and buy what they want, so why not treat him to something a bit different.

The Armstrong are a clan that has origins all over the Scottish Borders. The name is said to have derived when the servant of a Scottish king saved his master’s life by hoisting him on to his own horse by his one uninjured arm during a battle. The clan was then known as Armstrong and received gifts of land in Liddesdale. Liddesdale  borders Teviotdale to the east, Annandale to the west and Tweeddale to the north, with the English county of Cumberland across the border to the south.
