I trace lost heirs, witness & uncover family legacies. Irish-Scottish, Maritime roots. Grounded in story & tradition. #Legacy

Little conversations across time. Not quotes. Not history lessons.
Conversations with the past on how we live today.

@ByEricPratt I’m in Toronto, AL East fan but follow the Tigers too. Paying $225 for https://t.co/ULaIe0Gthm and still blocked? Not paying another $150 just to watch one team. At this point I’ve paid for the meal and they’re still locking the dining room.

For Moya Brennan — a voice that carries the old world forward.

“Buachaill Ón Éirne” is more than music; it’s memory, place, and inheritance in sound. In every note, you hear the quiet endurance of a people who never quite lost themselves.

Not fame, not noise — but something older, steadier.

On Tartan Day, I remember John Thomas Scott, my Loyalist ancestor of the American Revolution—one of many who chose duty over ease, and built again in a new land.

Happy Easter ✝️🌿
In the midst of ordinary things—light through the window, a simple table—renewal. May your home be filled with peace and quiet joy. #LegacyGems

We were so sad to hear Kirsty had passed away. It was a thrill to be in Kirsty’s company and witness her passion for Canada-Scotland connections. Canada has lost a daughter and Scotland the most special of Canadian friends. Fois shìorraidh dha anam/Eternal peace upon their soul.

Some breaking art historical news for you - a lost portrait of Robert Burns by Sir Henry Raeburn was unveiled today at the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. It’s been missing for more than 200 years.

Canada has lost one of its greats. Colleen Jones — curling legend, veteran CBC voice, and proud Nova Scotian a champion on the ice, and a reminder of what strength and heart looks like — one of Canada’s finest, and a Nova Scotian through and through #CanadianLegend #LegacyGems #ColleenJones

Homes once had protective herbs hung above doorways — rosemary for remembrance, lavender for peace, thyme for courage — not out of fear, but respect for unseen blessings. #ThrowbackThursday

🔥 Heartbreaking to see the forest fire at Lake George, Nova Scotia. I grew up spending summers at our family cottage there—beautiful memories of those woods and waters. Thinking of the community and hoping for safety. #NovaScotiaFires #LakeGeorge

💔 My step-brother Jason Burton was out of his house over a month, lost part of his property in the Nova Scotia fires. It was on CBC News today. Thinking of him and all those affected. Stay strong, Nova Scotia. #NovaScotiaFires #Community

Those walls held laughter, ghost stories told on stormy nights, summers at Kingsport beach with cousins, and the steady rhythm of ordinary Maritime life. A house of work, faith, & memory—now only ash, but never forgotten.

💔 This summer fire claimed my grandfather’s 1916 home in North Kentville, built when he came from Newfoundland to work on the DAR (Railway). My dad was raised there with six siblings. A century of Maritime family life—gone, but not forgotten. #LegacyNotMoney
