Burns Night in Dumfries


I travelled to Dumfries via Paisley to collect my Paisley tartan kilt from Houstons. It has now been altered, fits well, and hangs much better and I will wear it to Caerlaverock Castle on Sunday. Houstons are having a sale.

After we had eaten at Cavens, the Kilted Rabble at Burns Statue on Burns Birthday.

Alex, you have done it again! Within hours of the event, you give us the photos, and what another great piece of photo-journalism it is. Well done - even if I am now more sad than ever that I had to cancel my plans of being there!

Take care,
Ham.

I believe that's the Dutch Friendship Tartan. Isn't that Robin?

I wish you would stop posting those pictures, every time I am content to be where I am now I see something that I MUST go do. As always great shots!
