Q:
Dear 100 Hour Board,
My brothers and I were talking about our Scottish Clan (Lamont for any who're curious), and I was wondering, is there an equivalent of that in BYU or BYUI? And do you all have a day when you get to wear your tartan and play bagpipes in your classes (that would fun for the professor!) to Gather the Clans?

A:
Dear Bairn,
Is there an equivalent of what at BYU(-I)? A clan? A club? Scottish people, generally?
Yes, there are people of Scottish descent at BYU. (A search of "Mc*" and "Mac*" in the student directory returned around 900 hits.) No, BYU(-I) does not have its own clan. No, there is currently no Scottish Club at BYU.
If you'd like to remedy the latter situation, see here for information on starting a Scottish Club at BYU, and may you and your fellow Scots celebrate Tartan Day in style.
