Local Clan Interest
The MacGregor clan was until recently very well represented in the area, especially at Balquhidder Glen. Most have heard of the best known MacGregor - Rob Roy - who had his home in the Glen. The Motto of MacGregor is 'EINDOE AND SPARE NOT' though the words 'MacGregor despite them' have also long been associated with the Clan as a consequence of the name MacGregor being 'proscribed' or prohibited for many years during the persecution of that clan. The MacGregor mausoleum is at Auchtubh in the glen and a small MacGregor burial ground lies at the end of loch Doine at the west end of Balquhidder Glen
The Clan MacLaren is also associated with Balquhidder Glen. This clan had one or two famous tussles with the MacGregors in the past - one famous incident over a row about who should enter the church first! Behind Balquhidder church is a grag known as 'Creag an Tuirc' (the boar's rock). The rallying cry of the MacLarens comes from the name of this rock.
The Clan Stewart has strong associations with Loch Earn in that Ardvorlich House on the south shore has been occupied by the Stewart Clan Chief for centuries. Many stories have been told of the Stewarts and two carved stones near to Ardvorlich commemorate two of these tales:
Seven MacDonalds of Glencoe were killed during an attack on Ardvorlich. They were buried close by and were unearthed during the construction of the south loch road where an inscribed stone marks the place next to the bridge at the driveway to Ardvorlich House.
Another stone close by carries the inscription ' This stone marks the place of interment of Major James Stewart afterwards removed to the family vault at Dundurn died about 1660' . This commemorated an incident when Major Stewart died and was being carried to Dundurn - the pall bearers heard that the MacDonalds were planning to desecrate the corps so they temporarily 'sheuched in' the major in a shallow scrape beside the loch until things calmed down - several years later. He was then taken to Dundurn and the stone marks the temporary burial place.
Clan Campbell also had influence in the area and Edinample Castle on the south loch road was built by the infamous 'Black Duncan Campbell of the cowl'. He is reputed to have pushed his builder off the parapets in order to avoid paying for the construction of the castle. Close to Edinample castle is a Campbell Mausoleum at Edinample falls.
Clan Campbell were also largely responsible for the persecution of the MacGregors.
Clan MacNab tends to be associated with Killin and Kinnel House. There is however a MacNab story associated with Lochearnhead: The Clan Neish lived on an island on Lochearn and often raided the MacNab properties at Killin. They felt safe as they kept all the loch's boats at their island. On one occasion they had irritated the MacNab chief a little too much and the MacNab chief instructed his sons to take revenge. The sons carried a boat over the hill from Loch Tay to Loch Earn and killed the Neishes (except for one small boy). They took the chief's head to their father as proof and since that day many MacNab properties have a stone head in a prominent position to commemorate the event.
Connor McGregor; I gave the photo 'of the painting', 'Chrome effect' on my phone before I sent through to my computer.
My youngest son asked me 'many times' to paint Connor McGregor. He didn't want me to copy the photo for a realistic result, he wanted the 'borderline' edges. He was very happy with Connor himself but not how I painted the background.
Thank you for stopping by, maybe you would like to take a look in my Etsy shop:

At Holloman Air Force Base, this Megaboom Rocket Motor is being sled test run with 100,000 pounds of thrust for 10 seconds. Its 3,000 pounds of weight was propelled to 1,200 mph. Solid propellant rocket motors such as this one were originally developed and tested on firing bays at the Rocketdyne Propulsion Field Labratory in McGregor, Texas, in the 1960s. The "thrust blocks" used to hold the motors in place were made to withstand 50,000 pounds of thrust. For larger units, this McGregor facility had test cells that could withstand thrusts up to 1 million pounds. This was part of the large facility that included an ammonium nitrate propellant production line. The property covered land in both the McLennan and Coryell County lines due to its unique geographical location in central Texas.
Rocketdyne was part of North American Aviation, Inc., Solid Rocket Division, McGregor, Texas. By the late 1960's, the company had produced 250,000 rockets and this included some used by NASA for the 1969 Apollo Mission to the moon. Some of the land and facilities would later become Hercules and now it is home to SpaceX.

The first bit of Villa Park that I approached. Near the claret and blue gates is the Trinity Road Ticket Office.
One of the reasons that I wanted to take photos of Villa Park was this new statue of William McGregor. What I didn't realise was that I would have to poke the camera (or the lens) through the bars of the gates to get my shots (and zoom in).
Never the less some of the shots you can't even tell that I took them through the gates (apart from the ones with the gates in the shots).
McGregor was one of the founders of the Football League in 1888. Aston Villa was one of the 12 founding members of the first ever Football League.
It does look nice surrounded by the snow.
Does snow not settle on bronze statues?
The statue was sculpted by Sam Holland, who took references from photos and a portrait in the McGregor Suite.
