One Year of Upper Canada Scots

This month marks the one-year anniversary of Upper Canada Scots! I want to thank everyone who stopped by to read, learn, and see what life was like for the early Scottish families settling in Galt and  what is now Southern Ontario. 

The month of May is a very busy one. Firstly, I'm moving to a new city (or rather, village) where I can more easily access and enjoy the great outdoors. Secondly, I'll be flying to Nova Scotia to present another project of mine at the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada's national conference. I have been in the process of researching and writing a book on the types of homes constructed by some of the earliest settlers to the New World. As a result of these two potentially life-altering events, I will be placing Upper Canada Scots on a brief hiatus.

In the meantime, I would very much like to hear your suggestions about the types of posts I share on this site. More book reviews? More primary document images? More local Scottish food and festivals? Let me know in the comments below.

Until then, thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful project!
