| | | First pics from Taste of Scotland, Franklin, NC
We're just back form the "taste of Scotland" event sponsored by the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin. We toured the museum, made a couple of purchases in their gift shop, met Matt Newsome and Cawdorian (and looked everywhere for Angerli and his wife), marched in the parade, ate a nice Scottish lunch (meat pies, bridies, and Irn-Bru), watched the entertainment and rode the bike back home. 
A 300-mile round trip through the Blue Ridge with ny wife Debby, and parked right outside the Scottish Tartans Museum door! 
In the marshaling area with Pam Dengler, the only other member of Clan Kincaid present. Around 30-35 clans represented in the parade.
More to follow.

Smaug,
It was good to meet you and the wife. Sorry I was so swamped I could barely say hi! It was a constant flow of people in and out the museum all day.
And I guarantee that Pam was not the only other Kincaid there! I had numerous people asking about Kincaid items in the store today. One young lady bought about every Kincaid item I had pretty early in the morning, leaving the rest of your clan dissapointed!

M | Thanks, Matt. As there are a lot of us in the Burke-Caldwell County area due to old John "the Patriarch" Kincaid settling in Burke County in 1752, I not terribly surprised that there may heve been a few around today! I did hear someone in the crowd exclaim: "Look! Kincaids!" as we marched in the parade. I guess that the three of us were the only ones there in the clan tartan. And, thanks for the loan of the banner! I only wish that I could have gotten a picture of us as we marched, to forward to the clan chief.

Looks like a fine time was had by all. Nice tartan that Kincaid. Nice to see that R65 still in service, too.
Regards,

Loks like a great time. How was the weather? It was pretty hot at the Chicago Games today (will post on that and some pics later), topping 90.
That is a great cycle/sidecar combo! I want one! Must have been an enjoyable trip up to Franklin.
