We were there too and mighty glad the weather held throughout the event. It was great to have been part of the celebration.

Why are they wearing dresses?

I kid. I kid.

Great photos. Could someone in the know, explain why the officers escorting the Lt Governor and presumebly his equerry are wearing levee sporrans. I understand that the officers were escorting a representative of the sovereign for the parade review but usually only his equerry is in levee dress, if at all.

In the picture labeled "Slow march past" one of the piper's is in a different kilt, possibly Black Stewart. ????

If you look in the first post, Geoff, it's noted that there are members of three other Regiments supplementing the Regiments own pipes and drums, which is probably why one of the pipers is in a different kilt from the others (in the same photo).

I think it is the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada piper thus Cameron of Erracht tartan...

I don't know the answer to that, DK. Maybe Seathanaich knows?
