I HOPE you are a Scot but I suppose there are plenty of people that post as IF THEY ARE in order to add weight to their arguments. Is that what you are supposing I am doing? Will you stick with the subject matter and to research? Will you tell me what you base your opinion on that there is no possibility of an Aramaic connection or will you, as you immediately did, make an implication that there is a reason to doubt me other than the merits of my statements (like implying that I might not be Scottish). That reaks of a mechanism of denial wherein you attack the messenger without critically appraising the actual message and I hope anyone interested in objective research can see where this leads.
To answer your question, sir, my family is directly descended from the very first Stewart emmigrants to the United States and the esoteric traditions have been preserved with severe precision.
Now, shall we stick with the topic at hand?

Oh dear. If we're going to drift off topic (yes, you...) into bizarre religious theories about the lost tribe of Israel, take it over to the appropriate forum and play there. Suffice to say that apart from a deluded few, no-one here in Scotland subscribes to this particular theory. We're quite content just to be Scots.
