I love the entire series. The dialogue, the Chinese cuss words, and of course the ladies. I mean how brilliant is the notion of a sci-fi western? It's truly a tragedy that it "got humped" by Fox. ...

Cavalry Scout, I too am fascinated by the Great War era. The cool thing about it is the ubiquitous image of the kilted soldiers and pipers. It is such a profound image. Perhaps, your vision could...

Oh snap! That was a good one.

This looks totally cool!! I can't wait for college football to start this fall.

I can totally relate to this as I am from the Mid-West (Ohio). I had a primary school teacher and family members who added "R" to oil (sounded like "oral"). But your "pay-ettes" story had me...

There is a Scottish guy here locally, who delivers from my favorite Chinese restaurant. He was greatly impressed that I pronounced Edinburgh and Glasgow properly.

In southern Ohio, where I am...

Hey grizzbass, thanks for sharing your pics. That looks like a place to put on the bucket list. Sweet idea too about the gun stock on your monopod for added support.

That is a very cool tartan design and color scheme. Also, thank you for the work you do. Your bravery keeps us all safe.

Brilliant! Great interview.

I often wondered about the belt situation. The same thing happened to me. The last time I kilted up I wore the belt because I thought it was the rules. I wore a sweater and it bulged out too far. ...

Thanks sailortats,

Being born in the US, one has to unravel the web of knots in our genealogy. Being Scot, German, Dutch, English, and possibly some Irish one gets used to the notion of having...

That is very beautiful, Derek. Thanks for sharing.

In the Hogmanay special, the plot is about paranormal activity, ghosts, and ghost stories. Is that significant or is that just curious playwriting tactics? Just wondering.

Father Bill, you are on the right track. However, the actual date was more influenced by retailers and business owners in 1941, when it became a permanate national holiday. The idea of setting...

Great pics. Thanks for sharing them. And what an idyllic venue to have a Christmas concert! I'm so jealous.
Merry Christmas to you too,
KC

I was wondering the same thing and whether there was a deeper connection to the Christmas and the Scotland in general. Here in the States, the Royal Stewart tartan is quite ubiquitous in the form of...

I love the Santa playing pipes. Great photos and thanks for sharing.

MOTG is one of my favorite shows. Too bad Hamish Clark isn't active anymore. It would be nice to chat it up with a celebrity. Duncan is such an iconic character along with Hector MacDonald. Of...

I was at work when I read this and made everyone turn and stare as I was practically laughing, crying, and nearly fell out of my chair. Also, I think I woke up some patients nearby.
Thanks for...

Sailortats,
Nice outfit. You look great. My favorite pic is the one of the ship coming in to dock. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks Father Bill for sharing.

I can't stop laughing at this! :laff: My stomach is aching as if I did 150 sit-ups (Ok. More like 10). Stop and just die! Wow. That really shows how smart the scam artists are.

Cool thread, Alan. Thanks for posting it as I have often wondered about hiking in a kilt. I agree with you wholly that the rain kilt is a skirt that has hijacked the name.
Cheers,
Kc

I think it's frickin brilliant!!

I would like to know more about that too.
