A selection of photos from this year's St. Andrews Ball. Almost 600 turned up for an event that goes back 169 years. The ball is co-hosted by the St. Andrews Society of Toronto and the 48th Highlanders of Canada. My wife and I dressed for a party. Another view with a military escort. Piping in the head table. Piping in the Haggis. Me serving haggis, family style. After dinner, the tables are cleared away for dancing to the pipes and drums of the 48th. The band alternates after each dance and dancing continues into the wee hours. The Gay Gordons always start things off. A great time was had by all!
