The Border Gathering

[McClef]

More great pictures Alex - looks like the X Markers who attended had a good time!

aye... nice o' him tae wear a kilt fur the events.....

I don't know what clan affiliation Lord Lyon has, but if he was there officially, I don't think he would be allowed to wear a kilt.

it is ainly fair tae point oot that Alex happened tae catch Jack Broom (Provost o' Dumfries) at a bad moment here an disnae actually look like this!

Oh, you've ruined it for me - I so hoped that was what he looked like, all the time.

no allowed? that's crazy... he couldnae wear a Queen o' The Sooth whilst i' Dumfries?... arr a Solway Spirit?... arr a Pride o' Scotland?....

if ya arr richt Chas- (an ya probably arr) that's a national disgrace...

Great photos.

You have to give the the Border Scots credit for adapting the kilt as a national dress even though the kilt is not part of their history.

I noticed quite a few of the Border Scots attending the Elliot Gathering a few weeks ago in Newcastleton work kilts - though most preferred tartan trews.

Great pics Alex, the tartan that you have on, what is it?

It is a striking resemblance to one from over here.

Thanks for the pics, what a wonderful sense of humour in many of them!

Thanks for those, I enjoyed that. I'd planned to be there Alex but unfortunately work stepped in and ruined it all.

Anyone got any pictures of the evening's entertainment? I'd like to see pictures of the Chili Pipers et al.

Great Pics for sure. Like the orange over orange...I have the same combo but have not had the guts/opportunity to wear them yet.

Stirs my Scott Clan borders blood.

Thanks for showing us those pics, Alex! Looks like a fine time.

I had hoped to see my friend Charles McKerrell of Hillhouse in some of the pics...I know he was lurking around somewhere, as I saw his banner!

Well done, Alex! Some supreb shots!
