Out there in Jutland
In the old man-killing parishes
I will feel lost,
Unhappy and at home.– Seamus Heaney (1975)
Ad Caledonia – To Scotland. It’s Latin.

Hello, I’m Kennedy!
Ad Caledonia is part travel blog, part personal diary.
I grew up in Kansas and made the transatlantic move to Scotland twice now. I have an undergraduate degree in History and Archaeology and masters in Architectural Conservation both from the University of Edinburgh. However, while, I might have buried my heart in the Highlands, my bones eventually called me back to the prairie.
While in Scotland, I spent most of my time drinking coffee and falling in bogs. In the summers, I could be found on archaeological excavations ranging from Neolithic settlements in Romania, Medieval castles and kirkyards in the UK, or a Roman trade city in Italy. At present, I am seeking to become a published novelist and hope to translate history in new and exciting ways. Whether that be through storytelling or academic slogging, I love seeing history and archaeology come alive.
This blog is for the people who put up with my incessant complaining.
