North Texas Scottish Festival

[DTrain]

Sounds like a blast, looking forward to pics. I noted on the website no opportunity for locals/amateurs to enter the athletic contests. Sad.

They (you know how THEY are) were saying on the festival website that there would indeed be amateur events. I know they've had it in the past. This year will include some sort of professional world championships.

On the off chance that I'm not the only fellow there wearing waist-high leggings, I've decided to make myself at least somewhat distinctive by donning the weskit pictured below:



Not a kilt, but I've had it for ten years stashed away in a box somewhere, and haven't worn it in public yet. I'm not sure why I haven't; mostly I've just forgotten I had it. I might as well start wearing it now. I do hope it doesn't rain.

Forecast predicts 0% chance of rain for Saturday afternoon and evening, highs in the mid-90s, and 13mph southerly winds. Skies partly cloudy. I expect to be there by late morning or early afternoon (at least by 1:00, when the NT Caledonians perform) and stay into the evening at least as late as 9:00, maybe later. I will have a camera.

That's better than the 80mph winds we've been having.

I'll be there on Saturday afternoon/evening with bells...er...a kilt on.
