Hi !
Bored? Looking for something interesting to occupy your time? How about an excursion into Scottish History? I just
typed "a Freckle in Time" into my browser and magically, there it was.
I had received a note from this young lady and watched her introduction. Himself and I will be watching more on our TV
- perhaps you'd like to do the same.
My name is Kyle Granite. I live just North of Glasgow, Scotland. I am Scottish, born and bred, complete with red ”Ginger”
hair. I have had a life-long love of history, in particular, Scottish History, and consequently I have an Honours Degree in
History, a Masters Degree in Historical research, and a Masters Degree in Historical Archiving.
I have recently established a Scottish History Channel called “A Freckle in Time” across YouTube,
Instagram and Facebook, and I thought this may be of interest to the members of your Society. The channel will look at all
aspects of Scottish History, the good and the bad, the well known, and the popular misconceptions.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further information, or if you have any suggestions of subjects that
you would be interested to see covered.
Regards
Kyle Granite. BA(Hons), MRes, MA

Information
Masks: If you wish to sew a face mask yourself, the easiest (printable) instructions I have found are available at: www.madeeveryday.com.
Elizabeth Vernon is making masks. She has several designs for sale. Anyone interested can contact her by phone at (917-545-2866).
She sells her masks for 7.50 each (3 for 20.00) at the Hartville Flea Market on Saturdays and Mondays if anyone wants to
see her selection.
Amy Barrington is also still crafting masks. Contact her at: osu012@yahoo.com. She has many designs and sizes. You can
see them at Amy Barrington on Facebook. Send her the number of the design you choose. She will also make them with or without
the sides open for a filter. Again, you specify your choice.
Scottish Imports
If you are interested in Scottish Pies and other goods, you will have to order them delivered since there are no local
dealers. There is a list on our web site on the Special Events page. (Or drop me a line & I'll email it to you.)
Scottish food guru Alex Murray says he orders from Cameron's Scottish Market, in Brick, N.J. www.cameronsscottishfoods.com
Another one Alex recommends:
