I will be there too, and will be hanging out at the Clan MacTavish tent. We are honored that our Chief, Steven MacTavish of Dunardry will be in attendance as well.

David,
Instead of assuming the arms, why not do more research and find out for sure... <grin>
Seriously - VERY nice. I will look forward to seeing your crest in person.

Last night at our local St. Andrew's Ball, I asked a well-known Highland Dance judge about what is required. She confirmed that while a "dress tartan" is NOT required, there is a rather strong...

We just got back this week from a 3-week visit to the "Highlands and Islands". We were VERY fortunate to have X-Marks member Redshank give us a personal tour of the area around Inverarry. I...

I'll be in Scotland with the Indiana Commissioner! (my wife)
Hope we all have good weather!

So sorry to learn of this tragic news. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

As of this afternoon, the long range forecast is for sunny weather in the mid-80s.

I will be following this thread too. We will be leaving in 60 days for our first trip. We will be spending 17 days in the Highlands and Islands. We will wait until our next trip to see the cities.

I should add that in the photo David posted, he is wearing a kilt that he made himself.
Here's a toast to you too, David!

Been there. done that. Bought the T-Shirt... and the kilt... and another kilt... and another kilt... Am now counting the days until we go for our first visit to Scotland :-)

Carol & I will be staffing the Clan MacTavish tent at Glasgow. We will also be staying at the lodge in order to attend the patrons reception & the ball on Saturday. If X-markers are at these games,...

We did joke amongst ourselves that it might be fun to get together for a photo in which we were all wearing white hose., flat caps, etc.

Jeff & Mike - Thanks for posting the photos. Carol and I had a great time at KSW. We enjoyed having a chance to finally get to spend some time talking with Mike, getting to meet and talk with...

We went last year for the first time and had a super time. We will be there this year too. My wife, Carol, and I will be hosting the Clan MacTavish tent. We look forward to seeing old friends and...

Yes, we are a wee Clan, but are well-represented at Highland events. We are also very fortunate to have a Clan Chief who is very active and who maintains close and cordial ties with Clan MacTavish...

Carol and I will be there. We will be staffing the Clan MacTavish "tent" and will also be assisting at the Cincinnati Caledonian Society table. Please stop by and say Hi.

Mike -
Good to meet you too. Sorry my wife and I were staffing the Caledonian Society exhibit and didn't have time to socialize more. I know who was taking pictures for the Pipe and Drum band. ...

We went for the first time a couple of years ago. We've gone every year since then, and now, we wouldn't miss it. It's great fun in a very family friendly atmosphere. There will be a wide array...

Your son looks outstanding. I can appreciate your pride. I was quite proud of my son the first time he wore a kilt - although he was much older. Please do let us know how the dance turned out for...

It seems it should go without saying that a full mask sporan would be the perfect accessory.

As a "newby" of about two years who has finally and most enthusiastically embraced his Highland roots, I've received quite a number of packages from Scotland over the past two years. I have been...

Wonderful news. Congratulations to the Dad and Mom-to-be. Post pics when the blessed event takes place!

OK, OK... How about, "I'd like to teach the world to sing..."? <grin>

Yes, I feel safe.
This thread is a good example of why I feel that way.
Consider that the OP expressed his concerns and we have actively responded with many good thoughts about this issue - all of...

OK... this is the last straw! I say we strike back and streke back hard: We should all agree to start eating more rice. ;-)
