Links to Web pages
This is a list of web pages identified so far that are of interest to Scrimgeours
Clan Information
www.electricscotland.com
This is the home page of a service which covers a large number of Scottish Clans. It has basic Scrimgeour history (although it is their version not ours), a "chat room" which allows people to post questions and for others to post answers and a "registration room" which enables people to post general information/announcements. These are likely to be of use to us and far easier than setting up a similar service ourselves.
