    Tartan Day 2014 Photos

    I am starting this thread on the eve of Tartan Day in hopes that the members here at XMTS post their photos from various events around the countries. Let's see a wide representation of the variety of kilts out there.

    Good posting......

    An additional note here - on Saturday April 5th, I wore my tan Kilt with a general red tartan print long sleeved shirt, with Brown hose and my work shoes. (Sorry, yes I know, no photos, but it did happen) I received many, many positive comments from customers, and supportive comments from management.
    Our establishment Main Manager said I looked sharp and had many great comments from our customers.

    Fredericksburg Scottish Society Tartan Day Celebration

    The Fredericksburg Scottish Society celebrated Tartan Day at the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop. It was a great weather day and time to take the Triumph Spitfire out of the garage!

    No photos, as I have never had (hopefully never will have) a cell phone, and at present no camera, but was, as usual, kilted today.
    Fraser hunting, mustard Rannoch hose, Lovat green garter ties, and a blue tee with large rain forest frog. Worn to a bluegrass
    fundraiser for WRFG, an independent community member supported radio station. Well received, and much conversation, even
    though many are used to seeing me kilted.

    As usual, in moccasins.

    Two that I thought might be of interest from the New York City Tartan Day Parade. They are both pretty self explanatory.


    Regarding the Cadets I thought this link would be of interest - the uniform cards for the pipes and drums.http://www.usma.edu/pipes/SiteAssets...d%20Drums).pdf
    This page is of interest as well

    Since the Declaration of Arbroath involved the Scottish right to self defense, I felt that the archer's Holyrood tartan was most apt.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Tartan Day in San Diego, CA USA

    While I loved the music from the Lacemakers (a local Celtic group), the different Pipe Bands, the Highland Dance, and the bangers and meatpies, I was a little disappointed in the lack of people wearing kilts. Even many of the folks representing the various Scottish organizations were not kilted. Also, while I saw some great examples of how people were wearing their kilts, I also saw some not so great examples. Maybe reading all the comments by the rabble has made me a little more discerning in my tastes, even though still a newbie. Anyway, here is a picture of me at Tartan Day.

    Cheers,

    Chaps

    Scott,

    I see you're located in Huntersville. If you attend the Loch Norman games this coming weekend, do stop by the Clan Sinclair tent for a visit.

    Yours aye,
