how wonderful to have this exciting event right in your area...i did see you have rain in your forecast, but your photos look like things are sunny...did you have a tartan "special" that you wore too, Freda?

The three day event had two and a half days of pouring rain - I was so lucky to get the half decent half day! I have to confess I don't have anything tartan, though I had a kilt when I was little..

I had several kilts as a canadian teenager also! And a feather kilt pin that I was so proud of!!

What a collection! Is there a collective noun? Shame about the rain! It was really sunny for The Bute Highland games the previous week, but I gather the first dry one in four years. I loved the sword dancing.

Lucky you in Bute Elizabeth. Do you like Lotta's collective noun?

Wonderful to see the variety of tartan and the footwear. Even within the kilts themselves there are differences in the pleating. I had a kilt when I was quite small but hated it as it had an attached bodice so I had to take my shirt off to get changed for gym at school! Everybody looks happy despite the blustery weather. Thank you for the visit to the games, Freda.

How embarassing with the kilt Sheena, but glad you enjoyed the visit.

I didn't know you had Scottish ancestors Mary!

That was like walking through a kilt shop. I was looking for my favourite. I too had a kilt with a bodice and Scottish Dancing lessons.

Mine was Anderson - my wee kilt and later travel rugs in the car.

I, too, wore a kilt w what I called a giant safety pin when I was a teenager, but not my clan colors. I didn't even know we had clan colors back then. I've since googled my maiden name & found my colors - green, purple & navy...colors i'd wear now but wouldn't have then. hmmm...that's something to think about, except I haven't wore a skirt/dress in years.

Nice to see you here again Susan and thanks for the Sandra Murray mention - I had not seen those. I hope all goes well in Kent.
