    Met another kiltie at the rugby match

    I went to see our local rugby team play Saturday. It's the first time I'd ever gone to watch them, and I was wearing my kilt and took my camera to try and get some good shots. When I got there, I saw another kilted guy taking pictures as well. Turns out he's the "official" photog for the team as well as the field medic. He invited me inside the fence and told me to wander around anywhere I liked taking pictuers.
    "You're wearing a kilt. No one will bother you."

    Turns out he's a big fan of SportKilts. He said he'd even got the local women's roller derby team in mini-kilts.

    Anyway, maybe I can get some kilt nights going around here now that I've found another kiltie. I didn't get a chance to tell him about Xmarks, so don't know if he's already here or not.

    And here's some pics I took at the match

    Great action photos. That's a fine looking brown pitch.
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

    Yep - there's something about rugby and kilts - they just seem to go together. Personal view, as an ex-rugby player and confirmed kiltie - A man's a man fa all that!!

    Very cool, I hope you can get a few kilt nights out of it, excellent shots as well.
