What a beautiful and fun day at the Central Virginia Celtic Festival & Highland Games in Richmond. Here's a few of my pix of the day and of those you might see around this Forum.

Great pics ! Looks like there was a good turn out and quite a few pipe bands . Always good to see pics of fellow XMarkers as well as young folk showing an interest i.e. the lad piping !

I miss this truck.

I saw my first ever tweed Inverness cape at these games, too. Everyone was envious of the fellow in it as we all huddled around wrapped in blankets with our hands so frozen we could hardly play our instruments. Looks like you had great weather this weekend, though!

A Guinness trailer, now you are talking. Great pictures too.

Great Pix, Mael.

Especially like the military jacket...is it original or a changed long one?
I have a Bundeswehr tropic jacket made of pure cotton myself and think of having it changed into a kilt jacket. Great for summer...
Was wondering if one could wear such a jacket without looking too much as an army imitator... But it seems to work!

It's a reproduction from What Price Glory. I had the sleeves shorten, but other than that it is a great coat and now a better price than I purchased mine a couple of years ago.

Weather was super. What do you notice about the Guinness truck photo?

Great Pics! Is that a Border Terrier that I see in the bottom pic?

Guess I should post some of mine.

I believe Jerry said that little fellow is a Cairn terrier, but I may be mistaken. Jerry will probably chime in tomorrrow.
