Reincarnation, Scottish connection?

[holly01452]

First of all, I am grateful to have found this site. Mostly through posts from 2010, regarding past lives in Scotland. Some background, I come from a very loving Norwegian family, I am second gen American. According to my genetics, I have zero Scottish ancestry, however a small percent is British. I have been fascinated with Scotland since childhood, but also, going home. Home was north. I just wanted to go home. In my 20s the emotions of going home, north, Scotland would become so overwhelming, at times I just wanted to jump on a plane and go. No particular area of Scotland, just home. The homesickness and loneliness could be overwhelming. In my 30s I did travel there. I don't think I found home, but my travel partner was a butthead, and I was distracted with some drama during that trip. Leaving, I actually felt as if I were being rejected, from home. Only one older lady working in a Glasgow b&b said something, that I looked familiar and I had a well ken face. The homesick has never left. At 59, just recently it's come on full force again. When I saw the thread in this forum from so long ago, I almost cried to know I am not crazy. I have been to Culloden, while there I was depressed, but didn't really get any vibes other than the old violence. When I look at a map, I resonate with the area south of Inverness, chattan, mac gillivray, that area. The urge to get back on a plane is intense, along with the emotional turmoil. I wish I knew what happened to the past me, so he or she could find peace in that home again. Thank you. Holly

Hello Holly, welcome! We're glad you found us. Your attraction to Scotland is wonderful. I love what you said about the B&B worker and how she
"recognized" you. I think those types of contacts in our lives are extremely important, and with open eyes and hearts, we can garner knowledge from past lives and experiences. I urge you to return to those areas and set yourself up for a very soulful journey. Blessings to you and your past, may you find peace and joy in it all. ~Tman

Thank you. Peace would be nice. It's unlikely I will ever be able to travel to Scotland again, although I would love to do so.

In this lifetime of mine, the lineage of this family stems from Scotland - as one of the clans who, over history, fiercely protected parts of the Scottish Lowlands, yet I find an affinity to the Highlands (did I have a life in the Highlands? I'm not sure). In my American Civil War lifetime during the mid-late 1800s, my father was a Scottish native who emigrated to the United States (back when it was just the east coast cluster of states) and I guess I can pin the Scottish lineage back to that lifetime (again, according to history was another one of the most powerful clans in the Scottish lowlands.) Ironically, I've never really been all that interested in visiting Scotland myself, except for Edinburgh to attend the Military Tattoo (I love the Pipes and Drums!). I used to know Scots Gaelic too, but unfortunately due to me not using the language, I have forgotten most of the dialect, but can read it. How does Scots Gaelic make you feel?

I have been to Culloden, while there I was depressed, but didn't really get any vibes other than the old violence.

Culloden is actually rich in history as the Battle of Culloden was fought there by the British and the Jacobites (well historically, it was fought at Inverness on April 16, 1676). the Jacobites were an army mostly from the Highlands, and sadly, they lost the battle. This link might help you: https://www.wildernessscotland.com/blog/what-actually-happened-at-the-battle-of-culloden/ . Interestingly enough, have you ever heard the Scottish song 'The Skye Boat Song'? The song is about Bonnie Prince Charles' escape to the Island of Skye following the defeat in the Culloden battle. It is a song that is enough to stir the soul of that long lost Scot. Maybe have a listen and see how you feel? (the song in the video after it, is Caledonia). you should also look up the song 'Black Bear' as it's one of the most well known songs in Scotland.

Maybe look up the clans from Chatten and Mac Gillivray? It's possible that perhaps your PL self was perhaps involved in the Culloden battle and lived just outside Inverness in these places (Chatten and Mac Gillivray) hence the feelings. Here's some links on these clans:

Thank you eva. I have done extensive research on Culloden, and the Jacobite timelines as well as the clans in that area. But I think it's the place, as well as the people in the past. Probably just some little stone house that's in ruins now. I don't know

I love scots garlic and have learned a tiny few phrases from songs in that language. So at times, with context I can follow the basic gist of it being spoken. I can sing it, but not actually speak or read it

Hi Holly, I am not Scottish, but I have always loved castles. Now through discovering some of my past lives I know I have lived there, had a castle, a horse, did healings with herbs. I have seen pictures on the internet and really connect with them, realizing I have been there before. I suggest - see if you can find pictures of the places on the map that you connect with. I find lots of information through looking at/reading pictures. A book that may help you, I have gotten lots of help from, is Sandra Ann Taylor's book "The Akashic Records Made Easy". She has seminars through Hay House Publishing as well.
