all four seasons in one day
is it only Scotland where this phenomenon can actually occur. Personally i love it although standing on a football terrace when it happens may make me pause to reconsider that.

Thanks for that bit of info on your Clan history,
CLAN KERR I will need to add that to my record's,thanks
Some info I have on my web-site about,
CLAN KERR,The great Clan Kerr is well remembered in Scotland as one of the most loyal Clans of the turbulent Border territories.
The name is of ancient origin, stemming back to the Norse settlement of Normandy where the Kerrs were an important family.
The name itself derives from the old Norse "kjrr" meaning "men from the marshes", and the name has been spelled in many forms since, including Kerr, Ker, Carr and Carre.
The Kerrs arrived in Britian after William I's conquest of England in 1066, and the Clan Kerr descend from two brothers, Ralph and John Ker, who settled in Jedburgh around 1330.
The Clan soon grew and prospered, building themselves a position of influence through their sheer strength and tenacity.
The Clan Kerr controlled two castles on the border with England, and were quick to fend off any intrusion by the Southerners, but were not indisposed to a quick venture across the divide whenever they fancied some prime English beef for their tables!
Kind Regards

I noticed your from Dumfries, I have a few Kerr's in my family tree including from Largs Ayrshire,South Leith Midlothian, Brechin, Angus but from the late 1890's and a Grandparent Kerr from New Deer, Aberdeen but back to the late 1790's.I still need to trace more recent Kerr's from my family tree.
