    Smile That feeling in your chest? That's pride.

    Tartan Day is this Friday, and I've made it into a week long celebration by wearing a kilt everyday this week, giving numerous presentations and concerts on campus and around Beloit and planning a big Tartan Day party on Friday Night. Last night, as I was sitting on porch with some friends, listeneing to bagpipes and sipping a Laphroaig 10 year, I thought to myself, "Wow, I love being Scottish."

    I have complied a visual list of things I love about Scotland and my Scottish ancestory:

    A very good collection. I've been needing the Highland Reg in kilts shot for my Myspace... thanks.

    Outstanding post, Greg!

    I am hijacking the pic of the Ladies from Hell, though - I love that pic and it will make a great wallpaper for my lappy!

    In Soviet Russia, kilt wears you.

    Nice pic of Melrose Abbey among those. Maybe you will come to Scotland for a few days and visit the Borders abbeys during your stay in Galway.
    Please visit my Flickr albums of kilted guided tours of Scottish Borders Castles, also classic aeroplanes, steam trains, and vintage buses!
