He explained: "They became cavalry officers and, at the end of the war, these six young men were bored and decided to set up a secret society using their knowledge of the whisperers’ traditions and oaths as the basis.

"It started as just another hellfire club and then it just got out of hand and led directly on to the Ku Klux Klan."

2. So that explains the bagpipes.

In this Republican county there does seem to be a Scottish group which carries a lot of clout. Political ties AND business connections. I was just wondering if it was a fluke? Does anybody know? Or are American-Scotts generally affiliated with Republicans?
