Will be there with the Appin Regiment. We're ten groups ahead of you.

I am also looking forward to the Games. It's been way too long!

I plan to attend.

I did the same for my clan as well.

Who else from the Rabble will be attending the Virginia Scottish Games this year?

Drove portions of Hadrian's Wall twice before we hiked it. We only walked the middle 40+ miles. Two members of our group had limited time so we decided to walk the best of the Wall, and tour the 20...

I hiked Hadrian's Wall for real in 2017, and then virtually (same Conqueror Challenge) you're doing now earlier this year. It was fun getting the postcards on the virtual walk which spurred memories...

Many, many years ago when I was in the US Navy beards were authorized...until the powers that be realized that facial hair (ie, beards) prevented a tight seal in the gas mask.

It is with regret and sadness that I must inform the Rabble that ORVICE, aka Gerry Orvis, MSGT, USMC (ret) died the morning of 1 April due to a heart attack.

He will be buried with military honors...

Drop by Clan Elliot for a wee dram! Be good to see you again.

I will lift a pint or two in your and WW's honor at the Frog & Onion Pub at the Royal Navy Dockyard that day.

Sadly, I'll be in Bermuda - but I'll have my kilt with me!

And a good time had by all!

Northern Virginia, near Fairfax.

Should be able to make it. We are having the Elliot AGM at 10 so it'll be a busy morning for me.

Barely, just barely! :) Met some nice and very interesting people each day, saw some beautiful country and lots of ruins, and enjoyed a pub or two along the way. As I strolled along, I couldn't...

Friday works better for me than a Thursday like last week!

Hope to see it when I'm in Edinburgh in August.

Sitting in a hotel just south of Oban, so the single malt by that name seemed most appropriate this evening.

Ironically, I'll be at Culloden later this week. I've been several times, so this time I'm going to focus particularly on the this very part of the field in which the Government Highlanders played a...

You missed my point entirely, which was camouflage was not a common concept prior to the mid-19th century. Tartan may have provided that capability, but it was not the intent when the weaver the his...

The concept of camouflaged uniforms pretty much dates from the mid-19th century when British and Indian troops were issued khaki uniforms. Granted, there were a few military units that adapted green...

Looks great. I'm about to begin making one myself, so your timing in posting this was perfect.

Well done!

The wife won't let me wear a kilt when we cruise as I get too much attention from the ladies (and sometimes a wee dram or two). We have an agreement now that I can wear it when we...

I'll be along shortly...probably next week. Never been much for opening weekends.

At our Scottish Christmas Walk here in Old Town Alexandria, VA earlier this month, we had a group of Star Wars...

Indeed! I tried to let you know I'll be researching loyal Scots of the Forty-Five this April.
