In The beginning...…

About a month ago I was cleaning out my Grandmother's attic. She had recently passed away and we were selling her house. In the attic I discovered a box of rather strange Scottish memorabilia. There was a small woven bookmark, a couple of old leather books, some money and about a hundred knick knacks, a kilt and a sword. Now why my grandmother -– who was born in Korea and barely spoke English -– would have a box of Scottish kitsch is a bit of a mystery. I was about to write it off as a joke when I discovered at the bottom of the box a very old picture of a Korean couple, they sort of looked familiar and they were both wearing kilts.

I have started this blog as a record of my discovery. Every once and a while I'll update it with stuff I've learned from the box.
