And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The background certainly looks like Ireland. Both countries have a great overlap in the scenery likenesses in places, but also have exclusive differences.
You fellows may recall that the Brits used Northern Ireland as a penal colony for the warlike Scots for many years. If fact, Northern Ireland was known as "Scots - Ireland."
Married to a Scot-Irish, 48 years this year. Eight kids! She's still 'got it', and the quick temper, hard worker, dedicated, brains & beauty in one 5'4" package. She's God's gift to me! (Just ask her, she'll concur...). That beautiful burnt-amber hair turned gray, but her smile can melt an iceburg, and she's the most interesting person I've ever known... so well read, she's amazing, everyone loves her company.
Allison Tartan. For her parents 50th, we did the research, nice picture with Crests over the ancient Allison Tartan, all the children & grandchildren below.
Who cares? She's got red hair and looks like a doll.
ReplyDeleteWell she has a very Scottish look to me and the land itself looks like Scotland. However I've never been to Ireland so I cant compare the two.
ReplyDeleteI was bored and searched clan colors for he tartan but did not find an exact match. County Tyrone, Ireland match's the colors best but not the design.
Image search, yeah I thought so, she's Scottish, but the clan tartan is made up just for fashion.
