Introduction

Greeting Friends,

I am Laird Meara MacNeil, a member of the Barony of Smoking Rocks. My pronouns are They/Them and I prefer the title Laird to that of Lady.

Persona

Meara MacNeil is the daughter of the second son of the MacNeil Clan. Her Grandfather is Gilleonan MacNeil, the 32nd Lord of the Isle of Barra. Her father, being the second son married the daughter of a rich merchant who had connections both in Edinburgh and in London. After losing her husband at a tender age, due to what is assumed to be natural causes, Meara was sent to London to be a Lady in Waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon, owing to her maternal grandfather's connections at court.

As with most women during her time period, Meara is skilled at sewing, embroider and all manner of hand work. A daughter of the Islands of Scotland, she is also proficient in the arts of the Wise Woman, as well as the management of a large household.
