    Thanks for the great pics. A treat for those of us who couldn't make it.

    Have yet to see them all. The HUGE pixel counts and size of the pictures overwhelm my rural dial up rig. A long slow load. Will try waiting until late tonight, and letting them load while I do something else.

    Did see the pic of the guy in the jean jacket with his clan crest patch on the jean jacket. I really like the look of jean jackets with tartan kilts, and the patch seemed to add something.

    What a great venue too.

    It's been so long since I've had dial-up that I'd forgotten the amount of time it takes to load a picture. I noticed that Photobucket allows you to reduce the number of pixels for posting online (and even further reduction for an Avatar).

    Would it be a courtesy for those of us without broadband to "lighten the load" for others by not posting full-pixel photos?

    Yes it would, as well as reducing image size to something in the 640 X 480 range, so as to not 'break' the forum stylesheets.

    Sorry, guys. Those are reduced from the orginals. I shot with a Canon Digital SLR at max. res.
