Thank you for your contribution to the Hunter merge discussion
You were almost in the correct location. I have taken the liberty of copying your words verbatim to the correct location. See Talk:Clan Hunter This is not an area where I have an opinion. Even so I find your arguements to be interestig, persuasive. Iam hoping for many opinions since it os a consensus we seek. Fiddle  Faddle  13:34, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! And thank you for putting my comments in the right place. Yes, I hope there are more contributions to the discussion. Scottish and Gaelic history is a subject I am passionate about and have studied for for many years. I have a connection to Clan Hunter and I feel that it is a fascinating example of a small Clan which walked in both Scottish worlds, on the west coast and the nearby Islands, and it would be such a shame if this Island and Highland aspect of the Clan's history was quite literally 'edited out' in a narrow focus merely on the Hunters of Hunterston family and their immediate Ayrshire territory, rather than the Hunters as a Clan and their historically much wider territory. The proposed new draft does not, I believe, include any reference to their Highland territory, not the Gaelic name of the Hunters by which they were - and are - known, nor even to their role as keepers of the Royal forests of Arran and the Cumbraes (all things the present article references, even if briefly). Anyway, I'm preaching again. Calbannach (talk) 16:57, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
