Feb. 1st: Author Event - David McIntosh
February 01, 2025 2:00pm
Dave McIntosh is a 54-year-old Scottish Games Athlete and founder of the Hallowell Backyard Games. He served as President of Clan Mackintosh of North America for 5 years after serving as Vice-President and as Councilor. He was also a tent convener for Clan Mackintosh for 10 years. Dave published his first book during Covid, inspired by the idea, "If you don't come out of this having done something, you just wasted time." Dave and his wife have lived in Hallowell since December of 2020 when they came back to Maine after living in California.
Dave's talk on February 1st will focus on experiences that led him to become an author of reference books. His passion for research, from building shields as a child to talking to people as a convener, Councilor, VP, and President of CMNA was sparked after finding that much of the information that others had given him was incorrect; discovering that was his reason to start writing with that first reference book. If there is time and interest, Dave will also discuss Scottish heraldry. Dave has a particular interest and knowledge of the heraldry of the Chattan clans.
