The Atwater Library has many connections to Scotland and Scottish endeavours as well as a special Scottish Collection of library materials .
I recently visited the Atwater Library and was delighted to meet with Mrs Lynn Verge, Executive Director, whom through our blog, contacted us to offer the opportunity to present Scotiana.com to the library’s community during the Lunchtime Series.
The Atwater Library Lunchtime Series features once-a-week presentations by leading writers, musicians, intellectuals, scientists, and many more people sharing their knowledge and experience with the Atwater Library community.
We would like to thank Mrs Verge for her initiative in giving us an extra avenue to share our passion of Scotland!
We are therefore very happy and grateful to contribute to this event by giving a presentation on Thursday, March 19th, 2015
It is likely that a piper from the 78th Fraser Highlanders Regiment will open the Lunchtime session. 😉
You are kindly invited to this happening where you will discover how the five members of Scotiana’s team came to meet and contributed together to make of Scotiana’s blog, born in 2009, a cozy virtual space where to share Scottish travels with lots of pictures, related stories and readings and most importantly, our profound love for the Scotttish land and its inhabitants.
Our dynamic French, Scottish and Canadian team members are: Mairiuna and Jean-Claude from Bordeaux in France; Iain and Margaret from Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland and Janice from Montreal, Province of Quebec in Canada.
Since my dear overseas friends cannot fly in from France and Scotland for the event in Montreal, I (Janice) will be talking on behalf of the entire team.

PS: My grandmother [Dad’s mother] Elizabeth Mitchelson was born to a Scottish father and Quebecer mother. I will soon be again looking into our family genealogy to trace back my ancestors to Scotland. 🙂
