Clan McKinnon

My current motto is life is better with a straw. Basically everything I have to drink, I want to drink out of a straw. Including soup. I haven’t found a thing yet that doesn’t taste better out of a straw!

My family actually does have a motto (I think it is actually called a creed) which is in Gaelic “Audentes Fortuna Juvat”. This translates to Fortune Aids the Daring, which I have then commercialised to Fortune Favours the Brave.

Some facts for you about the McKinnon family:

We are an enterprising family from way back - from some place called Dunakin we ran a heavy chain across the sound and levied a charge on all passing ships. (Clearly passed on to me – I personally charge my family an annoyance tax. This is when they annoy me I take a gold coin from them. Usually they don’t know about the tax).

The MacKinnon clan maintained regular feuds with their neighbours. (Neighbours, people on the bus, your netball team etc)

The Mackinnons engaged in rebellions (in favour of the Stuarts). (I tied to raise a rebellion at Patts…..it failed…… probably because all the people I was trying to recruit had French blood in them. Those cheese loving surrender monkeys)

The MacKinnon insignia is a boar's head with a stag's shank bone in its mouth. (I like lamb shanks….)

MacKinnons were known as fierce warriors. (See I can’t help being rough on the netball court – its in my blood).
