Thanks for the pictures John.
Brings back fond memories.
Seems quite a bit lighter and warmer, perhaps, than January?

Regards,

Tom

Wonderful, simply wonderful.

John,

I recently discovered I descend from the Lords of Galloway and Lindsay ... guess what double box pleated kilt my Lady Chrystel will make for me next ?

Best,

Robert

Robert.

I have Downies in my mix (a sept of Lindsay) which is one reason why I selected that tartan. The other is, I like it a lot! It is really stunning as you are all too aware. It's all about the plum. I'm so pleased you will be joining me, we'll be like twins

The kilt Lady Chrystel made for me is just gorgeous. I am so pleased with it.

Of course if you ask her nicely, she'll let you pay for it in installments...

You're right. I noticed it as well on the night of...we had a great variety of styles. All looking good if I may say so.

Thanks John. My pics did not turn out well at all so I'm glad to see some others that did.

Here's a few more pictures from the March Ferintosh weekend. I seem to recall there were alot of cameras there, seems I'm the only one putting pictures up though. (Dee? you're forgiven...

)

Breakfast - Saturday morning (hic!) Dave and I slowly coming to

(Bruce Kilt)

Shane demonstrates that not all of us wer happy to be up and about.

Later in the early evening the group assembled to rousing tunes from Hamish the 14 year old piper. He has been playing the pipes for five years and has great talent. (Flower of Scotland tartan)

Shane is a Digger (serving soldier in the Australian Army) and is currently based in the Northern Territory. We served togther for a hefty chunk of 1998and have been great mates ever since. The flag in the picture is a small size version of his current unit flag (called the Gekko for obvious reasons) and is the one that Unit Members take with them when they go walkabout (travelling) Shane explains that all the pictures that come back that feature the flag are of the soldier in question holding it up in front of the Taj Mahal / Empire State / Great Wall. Shane decided his pics would be of people he met holding it. He has an impressive collection of pictured strangers now. Non stranger than me mind.

Shane, Paul and Me(from a different angle - Black Watch, Elliot, Lindsay).

Chas in his finest. (RAF Kilt and fly. I love this tartan.)

Dee, getting the Tennant's in... (Carolina tartan.)

Another of is all...
