    Looks great, Graham. That's the best pic of McGregor's grave I've seen in a while...I love that epitaph "McGregor Despite Them"...very fitting.

    Great photos Graham. Looks like the Tailor's window display was the same as when I was there. They had a great looking grey on black tartan with a charcoal grey Argyle jacket in the window. Now that was Jonesin'!!

    Not trying to hijack your thread, Graham.

    Sav, if you are interested in pictures of Rob Roy's grave, HERE are some shots from the Na Fir Dileas organized commemoration that took place last December.

    Thanks Mike, very interesting piccies at Balquhidder, looks like I was there at the wrong time. Even this month would be good, at Stirling they are having big 700th anniversary celebrations of William Wallace.

    However, when we were at Balquhidder, the sun was low and bright, the grave and kirk were quiet and peaceful. The wife and I actually had a very special time of meditating on the man and the history of the place together.
    It was very special.

    Phil, I saw that black kilt, I agree it looks very nice.
