This is a local folk band called Gobs O' Phun:




This is myself and my best friend of 20 years. It was his birthday today, so I treated him to scotch, haggis, Highland festival... and a spanking with a wooden sword! Notice the cockeyed position of his sporran and the pained look on his face. :





There would be a whole lot more, but I forgot to charge the batteries in my camera. There will be a ton of pictures coming tomorrow. This was just day one. OK... Off to bed.

Great pictures, I am looking foreward to the next instalment.

Yesterday was mainly a birthday party for my friend and I. I was born on the 25th, and he the 9th, so we usually pick a day in between to celebrate, but the highland games this year seemed the perfect opportunity. Today, however, I am spending the day with my reenactment group. Here's our website if you're interested: http://www.renscots.org/ There will be a lot more pictures of our clan in my next installment.
