Another sign of acceptance of the kilt as just another clothing choice?

Here's that pic from the newspaper:

The boy and I had a great time. I'll try to post some more pics when my home internet connection is repaired.

Best regards,

Finally got a few more pictures uploaded.

WalkerK initiated the Clever-now-not-so-little-Monkey into the Order of the Flatcap.

As his father I thought it my solemn duty to point out to him that there is more to life then menswear.

Our lessons concluded, WalkerK and I engaged the locals in a game of chance.

Fortunately, none of us needed to make a quick get-away, as this was the only vehicular contraption spied that day.

In reading the program at home that evening, I saw that there were "saucy" performances toward the end of the day. Perhaps next year I'll sign on for the F-H.A.C.G proposed adults only outing . . . .

Best regards,

Jake
