Taste of Scotland 2011 pics

It's always nice to see other's photos of the event, as well. (So feel free to add your own, those who were there!)

As a Life Member of the Clan Wallace Society, it was my pleasure to represent Clan Wallace in the parade

I had a good time in Franklin Fri & Sat at Taste of Scotland. I met Ryan and Abigal Fri afternoon at the museum and Fri night I was called up at the ceilidh to model my recently received (2 months ago) Ryan Ross Highland Bonnet to promote sales of the raffle tickets.

During the opening ceremonies, I heard "Santa bells" approaching. It wasn't Santa, but it was 3 folks from the "Sticks in the Mudd" group arriving. Eight folks who wear straps of bells on their lower legs and jackets covered with strips of multi-colored cloth. They perform unusual routines dancing with sticks to their group music. It was the first time for me to witness the unusual and interesting group. They have FUN.

I was down in the Tartan Museum when the winds hit, it was all over when I came back up from the lower level and saw the tents and chairs were all removed. Fortunately the wind didn't hit till most of the events had concluded.

I left some of my money in the Tartan Museum gift shop.

The Mrs. and I had just left when all of this fun started happening, and I had left my camera on the kitchen counter, so there are no pictures from me.
