I, John Miles, am a retired US Marine Corps Officer and former college professor that now delivers lectures on Scottish history and other historical topics to groups. I have presented lectures to multiple Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festivals throughout the U.S.
I hold or have held membership in the following organizations; Clan Gillean USA, Clan Donnachaidh USA, The Scottish American Military Society (SAMS), Scottish American Society Palm Beach, FL, the St. Andrew's Society of Albany, NY, the Scottish American Society of Tidewater, VA, and the Robert Burns Society of the Midlands, SC.
I volunteered as a guest history lecturer at the Vermont Veterans' Home and I spoke to the Vermont Governor's Veterans' Education Committee (GVEC). In addition to the highland games and veteran's organizations, I also give historical presentations at multiple Assisted Living Facilities and libraries in South Carolina.
I received my Masters degree in Military Studies (military history) from American Military University and have a Bachelors degree in Anthropology with a minor in History from Texas A&M University.
I have been published more than a dozen times by various periodicals.
