August Challenge- ACTION pictures in your kilt

**Alan H** · 31st July 14, 06:40 PM

It's time again, to battle the Ogres of conformity and perfect pleats.

I dare you to show us all a picture of yourself, doing something ACTIVE and PHYSICAL in your kilt. Swilling beer doesn't count, and the first guy who puts up a picture of himself standing perfectly poised in the ideal position to show off his pleats to good account, gets them dumped in horse manure. And the first guy who even DARES to write "THCD" whatever the hell that is...

Well. You're just a bluidy numpty if you do that..

Here are mine. Backhold wrestling at the Inverary Highland Games. I got two falls, and initiated and controlled a third, but we hit the ground at the same time for a null. He got three falls, and won.

Here are mine. Dancing with my fellow Macphersons in Scotland:

Creagdhubh,

What's the tartan that the guy is wearing in the 5th photo from the top?
(the guy closest to the camera with his left side/back to us?)

This might be a tough one - I don't get up to much in the way of physical activity. Not that I can't - I just prefer not to...I do plan to get a bike in the future though...

If this topic remains open for a while, I'll try to post photos of Kilt Kamp participants tackling their wool fabric in 30 degree C heat in Victoria on Sunday.....some of them will even be in kilts! It will be strenuous. -- except for Steve and Barb, who always look relaxed.

....have to say that Creagdhubh's first photo does show off the pleats in his (Ancient?) MacPherson kilt rather well.

Where was event held?

**Ron Abbott** · 31st July 14, 09:40 PM

I note that in AlanH's first and second photos there is a commissioned officer (or WO?) from the Royal Regiment of Scotland in the crowd wearing (I looked it up) a 'warm weather shirt, blue'....which is part of shirt sleeve order.

I recall Argyll officers wearing grey shirts, Queens Own Highlanders wearing blue and not green jumpers but I can't recall any of the former regiments of the (then) Scottish Division wearing light blue shirts.

Does anyone know which former regiment these have been adopted from?
