4 Months: Laird of Drum

From what I can tell, my son is a direct descendant of Sir Alexander Irvine, 10th Laird of Drum.

Granted, he has to go back at least 13 or 14 generations, and even then it's a pretty twisted, tortured path to get there (find Christian Irwin marrying John Ball, and that's how it eventually gets to me, then August). Also, it looks like it might be the 9th Laird, not the 10th, from which August descends. But hell, I'm willing to claim this heritage on his behalf!


August's Place: Drum Castle, near Aberdeen
