Hamish, Martin and AHay waiting to photograph the pipe bands.

The Stage

This guy was among the audience at the address by Scotland's Prime Minister Alex Salmond. Nice outfit but he was hidden most of the time behind a big campaign poster which he wanted Mr. Salmond to see.

When I went along to watch the burning of the fire sculpture I met McG who was wearing a muckle sporran.

Back to Ferintosh where Hamish and Pour1Malt were dressed for dinner

Piped in to dinner by the Corberry Pipers

I see you were given a commemorative coin at the do.

Yes, and I've already spent it.
My late father had a big collection of old coins, commemorative crowns, victorian pennies, an 1818 shilling etc and after he died the whole lot only fetched £5 at auction.

Great photos.

Robertson, you're looking like you've trimmed down a bit. I like the purple.
