If you’re gonna get her some pipes, let her pick them out. She’ll be more inclined to play them more if she likes how they look. Maybe her present can be picking out the pipes she likes.

I’m a...

Easy enough for me. First is Dress Gordon from my year in the Helix High School pipe band, then Cameron of Erracht...

Yeah, it unfortunately won’t fit. It’s about a 32” waist.

What size are you? I’ve got a kilt in it I’d be willing to sell.

Who all is gonna be at Costa Mesa this weekend?

I’ll be there both days competing with the Cameron Highlanders.

In a similar vein as Riverkilt, I’d recommend my pipe band’s kilt maker (mykiltmaker.com). She has a few kilted skirt options.

And I’d make sure whatever you get, make sure to get your GF’s...

I’ve been learning Gàidhlig since June using Duolingo, supplementing it with info from learngaelic.scot which happens to have a useful dictionary that includes IPA pronunciation as well as an audio...

Those Henderson’s look great. Unfortunately for those of us Stateside, they look to have some natural, white, dentin material that came from a large pachyderm.

Sorry. VAs are Virginias (a type of tobacco) and B&M is a Brick and Mortar shop, as opposed to an online shop.

I smoke a pipe when I can, which isn’t often. I prefer English blends that are light in VAs. For some reason, VAs make my head spin a bit.

I really miss the MacClelland Frog Morton series,...

When we were in Scotland for the Worlds back in ‘16, we stopped by the Glasgow Brewdog quite a bit as our dorms weren’t too far from there.

I remember one one of their beers was done in tandem...

It’s not the tartan worn by SFU which is a custom weave.

Almost looks more like what the 78th Fraser Highlanders wear, but still off from that.

The Cameron Highlanders of San Diego are putting on our annual Tartan Ball and Ceilidh on Saturday, November 17.


Make a full day of it and attend the PM Angus McDonald invitational to hear some...

Was a good weekend, overall.

Band took 2nd and 3rd Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Got to hear some great G2 bands. Massed bands was actually in the shade. Saw a few X-markers out and about,...

Hmm...didn't know we were marching into the comp area from the other direction now. I knew the Aux circle moved, but I thought the main was still the same.

Also, due to (I believe) personnel...

This American understood it just fine

The real shirt and tie are a much better look.

To make things even better, you should tie your brogues a bit lower.

Take a look here: http://bagpipejourney.com/articles/ghillie_brogues.shtml...

So you prefer bright tartans and dress sporrans. Look past that to see how each man is wearing his kilt.

If it helps, here's a link to a pic of HRH in Royal Stewart and a dress sporran. As...

But how does it stand out more?

Is it simply because it's a brighter tartan?

Or that his ghillie brogues are tied like gladiator sandals? That his kilt doesn't fit him correctly? That his hose...

So let me get this straight.

You feel that Rod Stewart wearing a kilt looking like he's coming from a costume shop is better dressed than His Royal Highness Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay?

I'll be there with the Cameron Highlanders grade 4 band.

Dunno how much time I'll have away from band stuff.

Here's to hoping for double digit temperatures!:pray::pray:
