    Really was a great day getting to chat to old friends and make new one. Shehan is now on the forum as 'Mini Kilt Wearer', and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

    Harpenden pictures

    A few from Harpenden. I thought the thumbnails were because I had re-sized them incorrectly, but increasing the size made no difference so thumbnails it will have to be, unless you click on them.

    It wasn't that hot. There was a breeze and plenty of tree cover. Mind you if I'd been in a pipe band, dance team or a sheepdog, I'd have found it too hot for comfort.

    I'm identified correctly. I'm the only one side one in the group shot because A I wanted to leave more room for others and B I wanted to show my sgian.

    It was a lovely day and I'm glad to have met so many of you.

    When is next year's do? I've tried wading through the programme without finding out. I must have overlooked it.

    Next year's Harpenden Highland Gathering will be on Sunday 13th July 2014. The date is given at the end of this year's programme.
    OK I'll add a few pics:-

    The Xmarks tent was situated alongside Clan Donnachaidh who had a photocall with members of Bedford Pipe Band.

    A few of the Xmarks rabble. Left to right tpa, dwg (Derek), JonathanB, John Carrick, Chas, Jordan.

    Another group shot

    A few xmarkers in front of the tent
