I'm a descendent from James Colquhoun who
arrived to Argentina in 1874.Here he married to María Villaroel
and...13 children were born!. One of those children was my grandfather (Enrique).James
died in Buenos Aires on February 4,1900 due to high temperatures (here
is summer).
I hope this little history will be interest
for you. Thank you

Desfile Colectividades 030906
Those photographs belong to our local
Collectivities Party ( Septembre 4 to 7 ). I live in Dolores, although
I was born in Buenos Aires, since 1990 and the Collectivities Party is
celebrated since year 2000. The image shows me at the parade with the
Scottish flag and using my tartan colours. A cousin of mine, Miguel
who visited Scotland some years ago, lent me the scarf and the tie of
our family colours. I was really very, very proud of passing with the
flag and showing my tartan; I didn't think I should be so proud, but
it's really a very nice sensation. I felt that my greatgrandfather
James was looking at me from somewhere.
I don't remember which were the other photographs I sent you, but
probabilly they were from the Patio de Comidas, where I was dressed
with Lindsay's tartan ( a friend of mine lent me the clothes ). The
Patio... is a place where you can go and taste different food of the
different countries represented in the Party. I prepared a large
amount of Scottish Tablets and I sold them all, they are delicious
!!!!
