one of my gggggggggreat-grandfathers on my Dad's side was the 9th Earl of Argyll.  Which would make me a member of Clan Campbell.

His grandfather, the 7th Earl, commanded royal troops at the Battle of Glenlivet in 1594.

Me, I just like to drink The Glenlivet.  No fighting required.  They could have settled it with a game of golf, you know.

Now, where's me kilt...

LATER:  It gets worse.  I also appear to be related to Robert Stewart, AKA Robert II, King of the Scots -- my 20th great grandfather -- and to his granddaddy Robert I the Bruce, my 22nd great grandfather.  I guess if you go back far enough, everybody is related somehow...

Well, I certainly hope I'm not now in a feud with half the Scots in my lodge.

In "God bless you Mr Rosewater" Fred Rosewater discovers he is related to one of the earls of Argyll, I don't remember which, and decides to commit suicide and is stopped by a phone call.
