Dame Eilidh Swann Stralachlan, OP, prefers to be called just Eilidh Swann (or Dame Eilidh). She first found the SCA in 1986, and briefly played in Isles with some invented name, long lost in the mists of way back then. After just some minimal participation from '86-'88, she returned to active SCA participation in '93, and hasn't stopped since. In '94 she moved from Isles to Darach -- where she still shares her primary love for a local branch with her current Barony of Lyondemere (moved there in '03).
In '04 she became a member of the Good Ship White Star, and in '07 she became an apprentice to Meistres Tonwen ferch Gruffudd Aur. At 12th Night A.S. XLII (42), she was made the 3rd Bard of Caid. As part of this role, she's actively working on a Caidan Songbook, here on the wiki. At Fall Crown '08, she was released from her apprenticeship to Tonwen, when Their Majesties, Edward and Mora elevated her to the Order of the Pelican.
Besides her love and primary fealty to Caid, she maintains a deep love for the people of the Kingdom of Northshield.
