    The gent in the middle of this picture just looked "off" to me and it took me a few moments of looking at it to figure out why. Was it because his jacket was buttoned? Was it the hang of his sporran? No. After a moment of staring I figured out what was bothering me. It looks like he is wearing his ghillie brogues with NO SOCKS!

    Then I looked a bit longer and discovered that he's actually wearing hose that are near flesh-colored (at least in that lighting).

    Still, it threw me for a loop!

    Great range of photos, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks guys, I got probably over 100 pictures total of all the event and videos too. I think I posted the videos to another link, but to be sure I will post all here again:
