Central NY Kilt Night @ Brae Loch Inn, 3 Dec.

**Woodsheal** · 14th November 11, 07:11 AM

Organizing a holiday season kilted gathering at the Brae Loch Inn in Cazenovia, NY, for Saturday evening, December 3rd.

The town is just southeast of Syracuse on Rte 20, and the Brae Loch is a wonderful old Scottish-themed venue with a restaurant, pub, and guest rooms. www.braelochinn.com

The plan is to meet up around 5:00pm-ish to eat, and then take over the pub for a kilt night!

Their website has directions, and one can reserve guest rooms on-line if so desired. There were still some left when I looked this morning.

Hope to meet some upstate XMarkers there...!

I've got my calendar marked, Brian. Thanks for organizing this. The Brea Loch is a fantastic place for a kilt night!

The Brae Loch folks are trying to line up some live music for us, for the evening!

A bit far to travel for me, I'm afraid.

I hope that all goes well (and that you aren't only two people present)

Well, there are a number of non-XMarks kilties who are going. I know there are numerous Upstate NY members of this forum. Don't know why we're not hearing from them. You couldn't ask for a better venue for a kilt night...!

The live music is a go!

The wife and I will be there. Gonna dust off my Argyll and wear a tie. Be all festive and stuff.

Well, I currently know of at least 16 folks who are attending - some 10 or so kilties, plus wives/girlfriends. This does not include locals, or others I haven't heard from.

Anyways, we're on our way to a great turnout and a super time! The Brae Loch has it listed on their website:

As you can see, if you wear a kilt you get a free "Screamin' Scot" shot. I don't know what that is, but as they claim to have the finest selection of Scotch whisky in central NY, it's got to be something good!

If you're in range of Cazenovia, come join the fun. (And there's still one guest room left for that night!)

Brian, are there any other details we should know about? For instance, are we still to meet at 5 p.m.? Also, do you know if we'll be meeting in a specific room of the inn? I'm really looking forward to this, by the way. There are so few kilt events during the cold months of the year and that's my favorite time to be kilted!

Jay, we're generally meeting 5:00-5:30ish to eat, and then the main kilt night part of the evening will be wherever the duo is playing - I assume the pub. As for the dining, either the restaurant proper, or the pub (cheaper menu!) is available, and up to the attendees' choice as to which they prefer....
