I am Scottish and have an ancestor who was married to Princess Likelike of the Sandwich Islands - my only claim to fame. My maternal grandma's family was Scottish, my mam was very fond of Scotland, the bagpipes and tartan ;D . Loved Scottish holidays. She did lay claim to being related to bonnie prince Charlie at one stage until my brother (I think it was) said he'd never been married! Possibly something to do with Flora MacDonald as we belong to an offshoot of that huge clan seemingly.

In all my research I haven't even found a remote connection
