While not the most anticipated Burns Dinner Photos by members of this site below are some photos from Franklin, NC
We had a wonderful time and a fine evening.

My first run at decking out in my Prince Charlie.

Our piper for the evening.

The entrance of the Haggis.

Matt delivering the Immortal memory:

Some Scottish Country Dancing.
My wife and I gave it a whirl but forgot to get anyone to make our photos.
(which was aperantly our norm for the evening as I did not even get
a shot of my beautful wife.

)
So this is after we bowed out.

More dancing:

As I said before we had a wonderful time.

Excellent pics; plenty of kilts in evidence; looks like a most enjoyable night.

Nelson,

Thanks to you and your wife for coming and joining us that evening! That was actually my second Burns Supper (and second Immortal Memory speech) that week. (I attended one in Murphy NC on Thursday).

Good food, good music, good company, and lots of kilts. What could be better!

Grand photos, Nelson! You look squared away in the Prince Charlie!

Cheers,

KML,

Thanks for sharing the photos from your Burn's Night. The red tartan (Wallace?) with formalwear is really smashing. I didn't realize that a brown/tan dress sporran could work so well with a black formal outfit.

I would have loved to hear Matt's "Immortal Memory". It sounds like a great evening that Burn's himself would have enjoyed.

Shame on you though for not taking a picture of your lady! For all our finery we are but escorts for those that shine brightest at these things.

Cheers

Wallace is correct.

The sporran is actually Red Fox.
I got it last spring from the Kilt Store.
This was my first chance to break it in.

"Shame on you though for not taking a picture of your lady! For all our finery we are but escorts for those that shine brightest at these things."

All too true.
I am kicking my self for not getting someone to snap a photo.
