    Back from Balgonie Castle

    On Friday evening we attended Gael's Fire at Balgonie Castle in Fife. This was a fund-raising event for the Tay Rail Bridge Disaster Memorial Trust with excellent entertainment by, among others, The Sorries, Clanadonia and opera singer Gary Glaysher. This picture was taken by our son when we returned home somewhat disheveled.

    The dress code was "period costume / traditional highland dress / black tie. I'll let you decide which we went for.

    Nice sherrifmuir and waistcoat!

    I like your cravat/neckstock as well. Any good closeups of how it's tied, or other details? It's a bit hard to make out the white on white in the photo.

    Really nice! You two look good together and it sounds like you had a good time.

    I'm trying to convince my wife that we don't have to coordinate...you're not helping my case.
