Steve with Ann

Steve talks with Alistair and Helen Currie. Helen is events manager at Bowhill Estate and she and her staff put a lot of hard work into making this happen. Her husband is a lawyer in Hawick.

Ann, with John who had travelled from Christchurch, New Zealand to attend the Muster.

A banner which Clan Scott Society USA presented to the Chief of Clan Scott.

I leave you with a final shot of the lassies, Lisa James, Colorado Commissioner to Clan Scott Society USA with another Colorado Scott and Ann.
I wore my xmarks dandelion each day and met lots of kilt wearers from all over the world, yet not a single xmarker made themselves known to me, clearly there are a lot more kilt wearers out there who never visit forums such as ours.
An interesting comment from one non-kilted American whom I spoke to. He told me that he regularly wears a kilt for everyday casual wear while in the USA but he decided not to bring a kilt to Scotland as he had thought it was not the done thing in Scotland to wear a kilt as casual wear, that kilts were only worn here on very special occasions and it would have been a heavy item to pack if he was only going to get to wear it to the Clan Scott formal dinner. He hadn't considered travelling in the kilt and he said he wished he had brought a kilt with him.
As an aside, over the course of the event I chatted with a Duke and two Lords, I can think of no other hobby than ours which brings the ordinary citizen into such regular contact with the aristocracy.
That's all folks.

Excellent pics, good to see Ann out and about.
