    Burns Night Chicago



    My nephew Seamus and I pictured at the Burns Supper at the Celtic Knot in Evanston, Illinois (just north of Chicago) last night. Seamus was part of the entertainment and sang a number of Burns songs including "My Love is like a red, red rose."

    Yes, McMurdo. I finally got a shot of myself wearing the amazing Ferguson Britt sporran you sold me. I've received a lot of positive comments about it.

    The kilt hose are Lewis Hose from the Scottish Tartan Museum tied with woven garter ties.
