The Latest from the Chief...

We have opened! A successful weekend with a lot of adjustments. Sight lines are not what we wpuld want, so be careful about what is in public view. We are working on giving customers some shade for the show instead of watching from under the trees asross the road. Some enguagement on the road has proven very effective.

Please spread the word to your regular clan correspondents you phone or email. Facebook is useful for us. www.facebook.com/ClanMacColin is for the general public and promoting our image.

If you have any questions please email me, ColinChief@hotmail.com and CC Lonny, chief of staff, especially for anything that has a deadline.

Yours aye, Steven

Notes From Tournaig

Get your accent on with Fathar John's MacColin Accent Resources. Also try listening to Radio Scotland in the background for the Scots so the sound of the language is familiar even without understanding the language.

CRV Recycling is for Empty CRV cans and plastic bottles ONLY, no trash, including stuffed in bottles, paper plates, Starbucks cups, spoons, etc. CRV cans and bottles must be EMPTY. These travel home in my vehicle. Wet ciggarette butts stink.   MacColin Recycling is a less painful way of getting the tax money back to help fund MacColin.

Marks

The Current Marks Registry Has been updated 4/7/2025, including the FOUR new marks. Hint Hint.

The Chief found we had a lot of lost and found years ago (in Agoura), and did not want the blatent appearance of names on everything while portraying and teaching about a preliterate society. As a result he ordered a registry of personal marks. This has allowed the return of goods and portraying of another part of the society.

The Chief has told everyone they need a Registered Personal Mark to retrieve their goods. Read the Marks article, as well as the rest of the Basic Guide, which has information you need. Look at the Current Marks Registry as well as the older (2013) Marks Registry PDF to design your unique personal mark (Older marks are retained since many MacColin return, even after years), and submit it.

It is easy to register your mark; just E-Mail a clear 100x100 pixel black and white jpg with name and persona name to Odo for approval, or get a reply why there may be a problem (like too close to someone else's?).   He will approve marks that are clear, unique, and appropriate, and once approved, it is permanently yours. Also send a 150x150 face selfie for the ID page. Approved marks can then be put on your app for an additional reference. If you learn the marks, you can return goods directly to the owner. Found goods go to Odo, so they can be retrieved, under orders of the Chief. Odo reviews proposed marks to make sure they are unique and will work. Marked goods can be retrieved for the fee. Unclaimed goods will eventually go to the MacColin Bros. Mercantile. And do remember, Unmarked goods are the Chief's goods. Mark everything!

The MacColin Basic Guide has information you are required to know as well as much of the basic information aggregated in the past 40+ years.

We have links to most of our resources, Living History and general.

The Outline of Links of the sets of links will help with where to look and link to them.
In the Outline use the Find function (most browsers use ctl-F) and look for a related term, like "lyric" which will also find lyrics, and once you are in the area, follow the outline tree up. Some links are old (these are the most useful sites I have found in the past years, over 4000 links, and some die every month) or slow, or are limited traffic. Try surfing these links, there is more stuff related to our interests in these than you can read in a year. And if you find another good one, let me know, and it will be added for the rest of us to use.
